Five Evenings
Directed by Nikita Mikhalkov
Produced by Mosfilm
A tender, melancholic reunion between two lovers separated by war and time, exploring whether passion can reignite after two decades of absence.
The end of the 1950s. Aleksandr Petrovich Ilyin travels to the city where he lived before the war. Visiting the telephone operator Zoya, he sees a familiar house through the window and decides to go there for only fifteen minutes.

Now Ilyin and Tamara Vasilyevna met again, and love broke out with renewed vigor...
