Family Relations (Russian: Родня, romanized: Rodnya) is a 1981 Soviet drama film directed by Nikita Mikhalkov.[1]
A rural woman Mariya Konovalova (Nonna Mordyukova) goes to the regional center to visit her daughter Nina (Svetlana Kryuchkova), and beloved granddaughter Irishka (Fedor Stukov). A good and simple-minded woman can not imagine what kind of world they are living - the dearest and, perhaps, the only people close to her. Trying to deal with their ideas about life and being willing to improve her daughter's difficult relationship with her ex-husband, she brings them all to a lot of grief.
