After bringing Bela to his fortress, Pechorin gradually wins her love through persistent courtship.
However, over time, Pechorin grows bored with Bela...

[edit]Film critic Mikhail Bleiman in Iskusstvo Kino observed:[6]
On the screen, there are simply illustrations for individual episodes of the novel, sometimes simplified, sometimes cinematically embellished. We did not see dramas of a strong character in an insignificant time.
