Moscow Does Not Believe in Tears

“The Funniest, Tenderest Love Story of the Year.”

Katerina (Vera Alentova) shares a workers' dorm in Moscow with two friends, and all three are set on building a life in the city. Vladimir Menshov follows her from the dorm to a pregnancy she faces alone, then twenty years on, when she runs a factory and a mechanic named Gosha (Aleksey Batalov) comes into her life. She has outpaced her old roommates, and she still goes home to only her daughter.
