Dolgaya schastlivaya zhizn

Little moments in the course of a very brief romance make up the bulk of this tender, lyrical film. On a bus filled with young people going for an outing to the theater, Victor, a scruffy geologist, and Lena, a young factory worker, strike up a conversation. He has traveled to many interesting places, she is young, recently divorced, and has a child. When she invites him to join the group at the theater, he says that he's too grungy to go there.
