O you—Russian fate, a woman’s lot! (1922)

On the powerless position of peasant women in pre-revolutionary Russia. Marisha, a village girl, is in love with the coachman Yakov. Marisha’s father, a wealthy peasant, refuses to consent to his daughter’s marriage. The lovers are forced to meet in secret. Soon Marisha gives birth to a child, and the coachman abandons his beloved. Harassed by the villagers, Marisha throws herself and her son into the river. Lost film.
