About Love (Russian: О любви, romanized: O lyubvi) is a 1970 Soviet romantic drama film directed by Mikhail Bogin.[2]
Plot
[edit]Thirty-year-old Galina, smart, charming, and beautiful, works as a restorer at the Catherine Palace in Leningrad, immersing herself fully in her craft. Though she seems made for love, true feelings have eluded her. Hoping to help her find companionship, her friend Vera introduces her to her husband’s colleagues: Mitya Velikhov, a young, talented engineer who quickly becomes captivated by Galina, and Andrei, a quiet, enigmatic man who captures her heart.
While Mitya pursues Galina with genuine intentions, spending time with her and their friends, she finds herself drawn to Andrei. Their fleeting encounters leave her unsure of his feelings, and she is hesitant to reveal her own—especially as Andrei is married. Galina throws herself into her work, and despite briefly connecting with Mitya, she ultimately declines his marriage proposal, feeling unable to settle for anything less than her elusive, deeper love. But there is no real feeling and no.[3]
