Two Women

Overview

During the NEP era, the ex-wife of a White officer, now married to a dedicated Soviet worker and lover to several bourgeois “specialists”, is expelled by her husband’s party for her affairs. Meanwhile, the commissar’s wife, once captured by White Cossacks, helps her husband lead a prisoner revolt and later serves as an exchange inspector on the commodity exchange. When she exposes the director’s fraud and her husband is wrongly implicated, both are reassigned to the provinces and depart together. Considered lost.
