THE PENCIL

Простой карандаш

Antonia, an artist from Saint Petersburg, has spent her life in the shadows of her husband Sergey, a star of the city art underground and a leader of the opposition. Their marriage was all but dead, as Antonina couldn't compete with his many luminous lovers. But when Sergey is put to jail for his political activities, Antonina realizes: now she can prove she is worth something. She leaves her comfortable life and follows him to a far-away settlement in Taiga. Sergey asks her to go back, her sacrifice is not appreciated, he never loved her. But Antonina won't quit. She finds a job as an art teacher at a local school. Almost the entire population works either in prison, or at the pencil factory. Antonina decides to teach her students with this simple and primitive tool, the pencil. Antonina is determined to lift the spirit of the downtrodden children in her class. However, she quickly discovers that the power in the school belongs to a twelve-year-old boy Misha, whose brother is a feared local gang leader. Despite the warnings, Antonina stands up to the boy who bullies and tortures his classmates and the teachers.
