This film pits 2 kinds of people together: the country person and the city person. It's a fascinating story to watch unfold. Anuschka, the farm dweller, is forced into desolation, upon the unfortunate death of her father, and the seizure of their farm. She goes to the city, to make ends meet, as a housemaid, only to be caught up in a series of misunderstandings, which inevitably stain her reputation in the eyes of others. I greatly admired her earnestness. People can think or dream up any number of ideas about you; they can accuse you of being a thief; or think lesser of you, but you have nothing to apologize for if you have always acted honestly. Anuschka was that all over; perhaps the embodiment of the "country" spirit, not corrupted by the city; and pure of heart. Perhaps, the "city's aura" or other's erroneous projections is what makes one feel less dignified, but then again, if you are truly a good person, like Anuschka, you have nothing to worry about.
