Plot
[edit]After suffering a concussion and spending several years in a hospital, Vasily returns to his collective farm, where he had previously served as chairman. Believing him to be dead, his wife mourned his loss but eventually found solace and justification in the sincere love of a mechanic from the machine and tractor station, whom she brought into their home as her new husband.
