Truth is Good, But Happiness is Better
2005, RU. Directed by Igor Larin & Sergey Zhenovach.
Based on the eponymous play by A.N. Ostrovsky. A story about an apple orchard, unmistakably showing that happiness exists, and that within our souls lies the capacity to be happy. And it is no coincidence that the kind nanny, who helps the lovers, has a "meaningful" name — Filitsata, which means "happiness."
