Alexandrine is an amiable young woman in her mid-thirties who has one killer
fault - she just cannot help acting on impulse. Known to her friends
as Didine, she is full of good intentions, but as we all know good intentions
are merely those things that allow us to construct a nice tidy path towards
Hell. Whilst visiting a friend in hospital, Didine can't help noticing
a teddy bear that has been left behind. Her charitable instinct kicks
in straight away and before she knows it she is returning the lost bear to
its owner, an old woman who is totally dependent on charitable support.
This leads Didine to take an interest in the plight of the elderly, and by
joining an association that cares for old people she discovers a whole new
outlet for her unremitting goodness...

The best of Russian cinema
There's far more to Russian movies than the monumental works of Sergei Eisenstein - the wondrous films of Andrei Tarkovsky for one.
