End of the Road

Конец пути

Also known as Konets puti

80-year-old Zinaida Gorshkova, the last resident of the village of Otary, Mari SSR, entertains herself: walking through the forest, she sings songs that her decrepit memory still preserves: Soviet times of collectivization, church songs from childhood. In the songs, in the faces from old photographs, the memory of a past, bygone life is still preserved.
