Film Notes
The story of Soviet actress Valentina Karavayeva. She became famous at 22 for her role in Mashenka (1942). Shortly thereafter, her career was interrupted by a car accident which left a scar on her face. She married a diplomat and moved to Switzerland, but soon abandoned her family. Persecuted by the KGB, she returned to the USSR in 1950. Completely forgotten by then, she spent the next thirty years shut in her apartment where she had set up a small studio in order to play her favorite roles in front of the camera.
