The Lady With The Dog

Batalov is a middle-aged Moscow banker during the early 1900s who meets the beautiful young Savvina on a vacation in Yalta. He becomes obsessed with this woman while watching her walk her dog each day. Eventually they are involved in a serious affair, although both are married. When he returns to Moscow, the thought of Savvina still lingers. They engage in a number of rendezvous, and realizing that they cannot go public with their love, they decide to continue having secret, brief encounters.
