Clouds Over Borsk (Russian: Тучи над Борском) is a 1960 Soviet drama film directed by Vasili Ordynsky.[1] The film tells about a lonely schoolgirl who decided to join the Pentecostal sect.[2]
Plot
In the provincial settlement of Borsk, Kira Sergeyevna, a young physics teacher fresh out of university, arrives to start her career. Assigned to manage a challenging ninth-grade class of "war children" — independent yet emotionally immature teens — she encounters a variety of personal and societal struggles among her students. One of them, Olya Ryzhkova, lives with her distant, workaholic father and seeks solace in public service as a Pioneer leader. However, her official duties leave her yearning for genuine, heartfelt connections. Olya initially finds a confidante in Kira Sergeyevna, but their friendship falters when the teacher, wary of professional boundaries, retreats into a strictly formal relationship. Heartbroken, Olya withdraws from school life, feeling increasingly isolated and desperate for understanding. This leads her to an unlikely bond with her aloof classmate, Mitya Saenko, a devout Pentecostal orphan, who introduces her to his religious sect. Drawn to their sense of community and emotional solidarity, Olya becomes deeply involved, abandoning her previous life and even alienating her father.
