It first part is dedicated to a woman who tries to cope with a loss of her husband. Its second part tells about a schoolteacher who suffers of the titular asthenic syndrome. [[spoiler: Actually the first, shorter, part of the film is a movie demonstrated to the said schoolteacher. He sleeps in his seat after everyone quits the movie hall after the movie ends.]]
This is arguably a go-to movie when one thinks about Kira Muratova. Even though both much earlier Briefs Encounters (1967) and much later The Tuner (2004) are also respected.
