It Happened in Penkovo

Delo bylo v Penkove) is a 1958 Soviet romantic drama film directed by Stanislav Rostotsky.

Matvey is in love with the daughter of the chairman of the collective farm, Larissa, though her father strongly opposes their relationship.

She becomes active in many nationally authorized progressive changes in the life of the villagers, and inspires young people to build a new club.

She also boldly wears no head scarf unlike village girls and goes in a suit, not traditional rural dresses.

Larissa tells Matvey about it, and he punishes Alevtina for that: he locks her half-naked in the basement, causing minor injuries.
