On Thursday and Never Again (Russian: В четверг и больше никогда) is a 1977 Soviet romantic drama film directed by Anatoly Efros.
[4] Sergey, a successful Moscow doctor recently in a common-law marriage, returns to his rural hometown in a nature reserve.
Ostensibly, he's visiting his mother and stepfather after many years, but the real reason is a telegram from a young woman, Varya, who lives nearby and is expecting his child.
In a fit of impulse, Sergey shoots a tame deer his mother had nursed, violating the reserve’s strict hunting ban.
This act deeply troubles his mother, Ekaterina Andreyevna, who scolds him for his cruelty and attempts to discuss Varya’s pregnancy with him, but they grow even more distant.
