A Simple Case
6.8
Following the end of the Russian Civil War, three close friends and former Red Army commanders—Langovoy, Zhyoltikov, and their elder comrade Uncle Sasha—return to their hometown to serve in the military headquarters. While Sasha and Zhyoltikov remain bachelors and share a room, Langovoy lives with his wife, Mashenka, whom he married during the war.
