The story unites the destinies of the landowners and their servants, and is considered as one of the most complete portraits of the Russian life in the late XIX century. It takes place in “Dry Valley”, a village owned by the noble family of Khrushevs. The film tells the story of Natalia, a young and naive girl who serves in their country house. We see and experience her love, dedication to her masters, mysticism, exile, betrayal and faith, while the “Dry Valley” is falling to pieces, slowly but inevitably, as well as the lives of its inhabitants. The film is based on the famous novel written by Nobel Prize laureate Ivan Bunin.
