Your Acquaintance

Your Acquaintance (Russian: Ваша знакомая, romanized: Vasha znakomaya) is a 1927 Soviet short silent drama film directed by Lev Kuleshov and starring Aleksandra Khokhlova, Pyotr Galadzhev and Yuri Vasilchikov.

As Khokhlova spirals toward despair, contemplating suicide, she is saved by Vasilchikov, a modest editor at the "Working Inventions" department, who has been secretly in love with her for a long time.

Based on a script by Alexander Kurs, the film originally envisioned the lead role for actress Alexandra Khokhlova, with the direction by her husband, Lev Kuleshov.

However, the script was heavily revised under pressure from Soviet authorities, and the film was ultimately released under the title Vasha Znakomaya (Your Friend).

Despite these changes, the film still offers a poignant portrayal of a woman grappling with betrayal and heartbreak, ultimately conveying a message of resilience and hope.
