Synopsis
Apple in the Palm (1982) is a gentle romantic drama you can watch online on iFILM. Director Nikolai Rasheyev sends a young archaeologist named Levashov, played by Anatoly Vasilyev, to a small seaside town with one obsession: to find the fabled statue of Aphrodite holding an apple. The dig stalls. One setback piles onto the next, and he is nearly ready to walk away.
Then the story turns from excavation toward feeling. A woman arrives at the site, played by Elena Koreneva, and with her comes a fresh reason to stay. Ivan Ryzhov, Stanislav Sadalsky and Valery Zolotukhin fill out the cast. This is a quiet mood piece where southern sun, the sea and a soft sense of irony matter more than plot twists. The archaeology is really an excuse to ask what a person is actually searching for. A good match for fans of the mellow Soviet melodramas of the early eighties.
