A man seated next to the body of his young wife thinks about their brief life together. Suicide has been the only escape for her... Dumala's technique creates a dark, claustrophobic atmosphere, entirely suitable for Dostoyevski's novel "A Gentle Spirit" on which it is based.

改编自陀思妥耶夫斯基同名中篇幻想小说，获1989年戛纳国际电影节金棕榈奖提名。
