New Showbiz Analysis

Pyotr Chardynin’s drama provides a nuanced exploration of early 20th-century social dynamics through the lens of a professional woman. By centering a female doctor's intellect and career, the film transcends traditional gender roles. However, the film lacks multi-layered racial diversity and LGBTQ+ representation. It also presents a cautionary tale about the potential downsides of female empowerment. Overall, the film functions as a complex melodrama that questions rigid social norms without fully endorsing modern feminist ideals.

Official Synopsis

A female doctor is so busy with her work that she has too little time for her fiancé. He falls in love with a waitress and the two have a child. Though considered by some to be a proto-feminist yarn, the film dwells on the consequences that equal rights for women may generate rather than openly champion suffrage. Similar in to Ibsen's The Doll House in many ways, the film provides mannered, solemn melodrama, ably acted by Mosjoukine and Yureneva.
