Interpretation
Model opinion, not evidence: mood: solemn; themes: isolation, public space; style notes: high-contrast black-and-white, static medium shot, strong diagonal lines from stairs

A person in dark clothing kneels on wide stone steps while holding a patterned umbrella. Other figures are partially visible on the stairs in the background.

The record

A Soviet work restored in the US in 1996 under the Uruguay Round Agreements Act for a term that ran to 1 January 2021. Public domain now; it was not between 1996 and 2020. The registry does not yet model restoration. The finding concerns the US copyright record for the film; it is not clearance for any use, and this page's annotation is machine output.
