Alone

There is a young teacher. She is sent to a remote province. The posting separates her from the man she loves. Where she goes, her task is to build a school. The work is not easy at all. The conditions of the region make it harder. The account moves along inside that difficulty. The film is put together as a drama. Building the school is the main work of the account. The tension between separation and duty is inside the film. The teacher being left alone is there in the title as well. Yelena Kuzmina and Pyotr Sobolevsky take the leads, with Sergei Gerasimov, Mariya Babanova and Yanina Zheymo also in the cast, in Grigori Kozintsev and Leonid Trauberg’s Soviet film of 1931.
