Pavel and Lyalya

Acclaimed Russian director Victor Kossakovsky poetically records a poignant love story. Pavel Kogan and Ludmila Stanukinas were filmmakers and professors at Saint Petersburg’s world-famous film academy. When Pavel fell ill in 1992, Ludmila took him to Israel to live out his days. The two were Kossakovsky’s teachers and he visited them with a film crew five years later. Sensuous, real-time shots of Ludmila combing her long white hair dazzlingly reveal a beauty that defies grief and old age.
