About

Love and hatred, the weight of convention and the tempting forbidden fruit... The emotional story of Katya, who is emotionally languishing in a troubled marriage and succumbs to her passion for the young Boris, but under the weight of remorse confesses her transgression. Her mother-in-law, the domineering Kabanicha, would prefer to bury her alive. Desperate Katya ends her unfulfilled life in the Volga River...
