1902. Austria. Tyrol... A Russian Sorbonne student, Lisa Dyakonova, goes alone into the mountains and does not return. The best guides search for her, but she has disappeared without a trace. Only a month later, a local shepherd accidentally sees...
her body at the edge of a waterfall ledge. Everyone is shocked that the body was naked, and the clothes, tied in a knot, lay nearby. In Dyakonova's travel trunk, a manuscript of her novel "Diary of a Russian Woman" will be found. It will be published and will evoke a flurry of responses. Vasily Rozanov will call it the best work written by a woman in domestic literature.
Renowned writer and journalist, winner of the "Big Book" award, Pavel Basinsky used Dyakonova's diary and archive material to build his "non-fiction novel" about the fate of one of the first Russian feminists who tried to prove something to the whole world. He conducts his investigation to explain what really happened in Austrian Tyrol and why the life of this Russian Jane Eyre turned out to be so tragic.
