Vasily (Mikhail Kononov) and Vasilisa (Olga Ostroumova) had seven children and were a hardworking family, respected by their village. But one day, something changed: Vasily began drinking heavily and struck his devoted wife, causing her to suffer a miscarriage. In response, Vasilisa expelled him to the barn, just before the outbreak of World War II. During the war, two of their sons were killed, and Vasily returned as a decorated war hero with the Order of Glory, yet Vasilisa was unable to forgive him.[4]
