The Woman who Sings (Russian: Женщина, которая поёт, romanized: Zhenschina, kotoraya poyot) is a 1978 Soviet film by Aleksandr Orlov.

Frustrated by her lack of a defining song that could help her reach her full potential, Anna begins to question whether she should continue pursuing her stage career.

While relaxing with Valentin on the beach, Anna stumbles upon a poem titled "The Woman I Love," which she feels has the makings of a great song.

Her divorce and the emotional fallout linger, and even as a romantic spark ignites between her and Andrei, his departure from Moscow prevents their relationship from flourishing.

The film concludes with scenes of Anna at the peak of her success, touring major cities, performing in grand venues, and captivating audiences with her powerful voice.

Through it all, the film explores Anna’s struggle to reconcile her personal desires with her artistic ambition, culminating in her transformation into a celebrated, albeit solitary, icon.

However, during the filming there was a conflict between Zatsepin and Pugacheva due to the fact that she, without warning him in advance, inserted her songs (under the pseudonym Boris Gorbonos) without his knowledge.

The episode with the child, as well as the conversation with Andrei and a rehearsal before the contest, is accompanied by a melody that later became the song "I Will Not Give You to Anyone" (Alla Pugacheva's music, Larisa Kulikova's lyrics, appeared in the repertoire of the singer in 1987).
