ALONE

This is the true story of a woman, Anna Diomina, who is as old as the century. Every day, for the past seventeen years, at the same time, at the same station, an elderly lady with a hump and a cart boards the same train. She leaves the train at a far away station and starts her journey through the woods. As we follow this old woman along the icy pathways, her story and that of Russia's unfolds. It is a story of loyalty and betrayal for both. Striking archival material from 20th century Russia is accompanied by simple yet lyrical images of contemporary Russia and our heroine, as she goes about her day. And as her poignant mission is revealed, a hundred years of Russian history unfolds through her personal retelling.
