Krug Synopsis
Set during the New Economic Policy (NEP) era 1921-1928, assistant prosecutor Bersenev is in charge of the case of a certain embezzler Polyansky. Soon it becomes known to Bersenev that his wife Vera, Polyansky's mistress, is also involved in the crime. During the investigation, Bersenev recognizes Polyansky as the owner of the apartment in which he himself was hiding from the Tzar's secret police agents during the years of the revolution. After painful hesitation, Bersenev takes the case to court and, taking the child, leaves his wife.
Into the Light Synopsis
A simple country girl, brutally mistreated by her stepfather, awakens first the sympathy, then the love, of The Boy. The Spider, who lusts after The Girl, makes a bargain with the stepfather and takes her to the city where, kept prisoner, she is soon broken in health and spirit. Cast out and near death, she is taken in by The Boy. Following the demise of The Spider, The Boy takes her to church, where he prays, and after many hours she is restored to health.
"Krug" holds a slight edge in general audience appreciation, but "Into the Light" offers its own unique cult appeal.
