What happens
Farewell (Russian: Прощание, romanized: Proshchanie) is a 1983 Soviet drama film based on Valentin Rasputin's novel Farewell to Matyora and directed by Larisa Shepitko and Elem Klimov. It was Shepitko's last film. She died during filming in 1979 and her husband Elem replaced her as director. As a remote Russian village faces submersion for a new dam project, its elderly residents grapple with leaving their ancestral home, symbolizing resilience against inevitable change.
