the long version

A passionate and compelling story of the love between a Russian village girl and a high-born English doctor, set in the dramatic years before and during the Russian Revolution. Galina Panova is a student at St. Petersburg University in the bitter winter of 1905 when she meets Simon Aylsham, the son of an English lord, who, after a tragic accident, gave up a promising career as a surgeon and fled to Russia. Their romance blossoms when he helps her nurse a young aristocrat back to health, and working with the poor and sick of St. Petersburg brings them closer together still. But the violent upheaveals of the coming years [tear them apart].
