Synopsis
Rains All Over the Area (1978) is a Soviet rural drama by Vladimir Shmakov, available to watch online on iFILM. It follows a young tractor driver who runs both her work and her heart by the same rule: no half measures.
The collective farm's chairman makes Maria (Svetlana Tormakhova) the leader of a field team. She outworks most of the men around her and expects them to keep up. She is just as unbending in love — when she learns that Tolik, whose child she is carrying, has been unfaithful, she cuts him off for good. Her fellow workers don't always stand behind her principles, and one bruised day she decides to leave for the city, only to find that her roots hold her too tightly.
A small, rain-soaked seventies drama where the strongest person in the room is also the most alone. No gloss, just character and wet earth. Watch Rains All Over the Area (1978) online on iFILM.
