Soviet movie

Tue Jul 10 10:55:01 UTC 2012

Hello all. I am a graduate student starting in the fall and this is my first time posting. I love this mailing list. There is so much to learn from each other. When I first starting learning Russian, I used to rent DVDs from a Russian movie store and they were most often without subtitles. I didn't understand the language, but I understood the basic story line. I am looking for the title of a Soviet film about a Soviet woman and a Frenchman. The woman is married with a son and her and the man end up falling asleep in a truck and wake up in a village where they pretend to be man and wife. In the end, she leaves her husband and the Frenchman is deported leaving her heartbroken. This is what I understood about the storyline. I have been looking for it for years now and I was wondering if anyone could help me figure out what the title is and perhaps where to locate it online. I looked while I was in Russia but without the title I was unsuccessful. 

Thank you!
