根据屠格涅夫中篇小说《木木》改编。
木木是一个简单的音节，庄里的哑巴也能把它发得很好；木木是格拉西姆的小影子，永远一摇一摆跟在他身后。木木是一条欢快的小狗，与格拉西姆相依为伴，格拉西姆是一个说不了话的农奴。
格拉西姆爱上了帮工姑娘，姑娘也钟情于他，谁料女主人闲来无聊乱点鸳鸯谱，上演一出“棒打有情人”，仿佛农奴只需要繁衍，而无爱之需求。伤心之余的格拉西姆捡到一条小狗，饲养宠爱，成为他生活下去的唯一凭藉，亦得不到假心慈悲的女主人许可。他只得亲手勒死无辜的小狗、远走他乡。地位与感情的不对等，使得格拉西姆看来分外悲怆，难道他就没有付出感情的权利了吗？而那些满口仁义的人，却连一只小动物都不肯放过，最是令人愤恨。
这部电影讲述了粗糙的人所拥有的细腻感情，但他却囿于低贱身份，除了一身气力无所凭恃，终究被人横刀夺爱。格拉西姆的农奴出身，预示了他不可能掌控自己的命运，一切都在贵族女主人的一己好恶中被剥夺。屠格涅夫本人出身贵族家庭，却在小说《木木》里狠狠嘲讽了一把病怏怏且自我中心的贵妇人作风，这作风也是太过随心所欲，那附属其上的农奴和女工们完全像蚂蚁一样，任其摆布。据说这贵妇人原型就是屠格涅夫的母亲，格拉西姆也确有其人，是他们家的一个聋哑看门人。
本片忠实地还原了格拉西姆的隐忍与无奈，惜字幕暂缺，但读过《木木》朋友，可以在影像中拾得一份熟悉的牵挂。
【屠格涅夫简介】
生于奥廖尔省的世袭贵族之家，母亲是当时奥廖尔省最大的地主贵族。自1833年，先后就读于莫斯科大学、圣彼得堡大学和德国柏林大学。屠格涅夫是19世纪俄 国西派知识分子的典型代表，主张废除包括农奴制在内的不平等封建制度，但同时反对使用暴力革命手段改造社会。成名作是发表在《现代人》杂志上的系列短篇随笔《猎人笔记》。屠格涅夫的著名作品《罗亭》、《阿霞》、《贵族之家》、《前夜》、《父与子》、《烟》和《木木》等对俄罗斯和世界文学发展都产生了一定影响。

We pick up the story on our main character's bus ride home. He sits alone, looking content, trying to pass the time. Then, something seems to get in his eye, because he rubs it and then closes the buses window. Something changes about him. He looks around and feels a strange disgust in the bus filled with quiet strangers also trying to get home and minding their own business. Pavel-Ivanovich is so disgusted that he gets off the bus several stops before his home and walks, arriving at dark. From here his story begins, and we go along for his sad ride. From that evening on he sees only sadness and wrong in everything. He can't respond to kindness, and scolds those closest to him. He offends everyone. At his work he tries to go against as many people as possible, and hurt ordinary citizens too. He also feels that everyone is against him. His condition seems to worsen. How will all this end. Sure this can't be the end for Pavel-Ivanovich, a good man somewhere deep inside.
The brilliance of this film lies in the main character's deep state of mind. His suffering. The fact that he hurts everyone around him, feels horrible about it but still does it until he almost loses everything. If you like film's where you feel that you can relate or feel the character's emotions, you might like this film. An incredible pressure is built up throughout the film, and the last scene, for me at least, magically lifts it, if only for a couple of seconds.
This is a strange film, and I don't say that a lot. It is very hard to describe, but the main elements that drive the feel of this film are the main character's state of mind and the music (more than half of the film has incredible original music playing in the background). Daneliya's films have incredible music like in Autumn Marathon, Kin-Dza-Dza, and Thirty-Three. Daneliyaa was into jazz and played drums in a band way back before he started making film so his films are very rich in music. Also this film is sad, but is also a comedy. All these elements mix to make an incredible movie

Mini-series set in times of WW II about Soviet underground fighters led by brave Anna Morozova. They are establishing connection with Polish people who work on German airfield. And even small victories cost a lot sometimes.
