Strict Woman (1959)
Khrystyna Zhalyuk, the chairman of the village council, has had many difficulties from the very first days of her work. The first session of the village council is disrupted due to the fault of the collective farm chairman Spyridon Zhilinka, who pretended to be sick and did not show up at the meeting. Khristina's daughter Yulka is accused of calf death and suspended from work. Makar Shulga, the former chairman of the village council, who has now settled in the district center, is weaving intrigues against Khristina. Zhalyuk discovers that Zhilinka and Shulga were engaged in eyewash, overestimating the yields of some crops.
