本片拍摄于1966年，完成后因片中真实地展现了苏联农村的贫困生活而遭到当时政府的禁映，直到20年后的1987年才得以解禁。影片获1988年意大利别扎洛国际电影节特别奖，1988年柏林电影节非竞赛单元国际影评联合会大奖。
60年代中期的苏联农村。集体农庄的女厨师阿霞是个貌不出众的跛 脚女人。她爱上了村里的司机斯捷潘并怀了他的孩子。斯捷潘蛮横傲慢，一身恶习，对阿霞怀孕的事情表现得非常冷淡，倒是村里的鳏夫齐尔库诺夫深爱着阿霞，并想娶她为妻，但是遭到了阿霞的拒绝。
低矮简陋的民居，一望无际的农田，夏季灼人的阳光和弯腰劳作的农民。贫困环境中的一个普通三角恋情故事，因为叙事的真切朴实脱颖而出。伊·萨维娜栩栩如生地刻画出女主人公善良、隐忍、坚贞和博爱的品格，而这些也正是俄罗斯民族的典型精神性特征。
导演阿·米哈尔科夫－康恰洛夫斯基的作品体裁多样，涉及题材广泛，他犹如一个在荒漠行走的诗人，永远向自己的极限挑战。他善于在作品中运用隐喻和象征手法。自然主义、现实主义、间离效果在他的影片中相互融合。本片的一大亮点是片中除了三个职业演员（严格的说是两个，因为扮演斯捷潘的亚·苏林其实是名导演）外，其余人物均由非职业演员出演。于是，他们把生活中真实的欢笑与痛苦载入胶片，赋予了影片难得的记录性。
