Spoilers ahead
Anna Dobrokhotova Natalya Gundareva was born and raised in a village where life is relentless, filled with constant labor and a rhythm that leaves little room for breaks. The atmosphere is harsh, and though many toil just as hard, Anna stands out for her laziness and disorganization, chasing simple pleasures like sunbathing, lying on a feather bed, and savoring small luxuries rather than embracing the demanding routine around her. A random affair with a young student results in pregnancy and the birth of a child, but the relationship does not mature because Anna does not wish to marry at that moment.
