Pyatyy desyatok (1982)

Librarian Yolochkina has nothing unusual in her. Not really tall, slender ordinary woman in her fourties. She had a lot in her life: hard labor, thousands of chores, failed love. Her face looks tired and washed out. Brittle, slightly cracked voice adds up to this impression. There is something childishly naive and open-hearted to the point of defenselessness in her. Yet, deeply within, she keeps invisible source of energy, that tough spirit which help staying true to herself. Not even once went Yolochkina against her conscience. She often felt devastated because of that stubbornness and scolded herself mercilessly, but next day continued behaving the same way.
