大学同学约翰（保罗·路德 Paul Rudd 饰）的来电让柏迪亚（蒂娜·菲 Tina Fey 饰）十分意外，春暖电话中，春暖约翰邀请柏迪亚参观他所在的学校，作为同行，柏迪亚欣然前往。约翰的学校给作风保守古板的柏迪亚带来了很大的震撼，一些小小的改变在她的观念中逐渐形成。约翰此次发出邀请其实还有另外一个目的，他发现自己学校中一位名叫杰瑞玛（纳特·沃尔夫 Nat Wolff 饰）的学生很可能和柏迪亚有着一段古老的渊源。果不其然，当柏迪亚看到杰瑞玛时，她感到内心里涌现出了一种特殊的感情。与此同时，她和约翰之间的距离也越来越近，幸福，在不经意间造访了这个善良的女人。
回复 :影片改编自出生于法国的波兰诗人、作家爱德华•斯塔胡拉（Edward Stachura；1937年8月18日~1979年7月24日）发表于1971年的小说《执斧人或冬季的森林人》（Siekierezada albo zima leśnych ludzi）。敏感的年轻诗人雅内克不能再接受口是心非的人和虚伪的世界，已经在世界上找不到自己的位置。他很想能有一个与他熟知的世界根本不同的地方来充实他的生活，于是他应了林务招聘，将他的全部财产装在袋子里背在身后，到深山老林当了一名冬季临时伐木工。林场里空气清新，采伐工人虽性格不一，但跟城里人不同个个坦诚友好，他很快和他们交上了朋友。他也越来越相信“苹果树枝会在纯洁的土地上和心灵里双开花”（他的人生哲理）。尽管每个晚上都要被爱情创伤的噩梦惊醒，他还是盼望在这个纯朴的劳动者的圈子里也许会找到他所期待的东西，直到发生了改变了他想法的一件事——一个老实巴交的执斧人借着喝高了伏特加，用伐木的斧子砍翻了小酒馆的餐桌，以发泄妻子对他不忠的不满。这件事触痛了他的神经，他决定告别林场。途中，自从来到森林里白天不再出现的幻觉又重新浮现在了他的脑海，只是这次不同，爱的天使犹如一具带着面具的美丽僵尸。一辆呼啸进山的窄轨火车迎面驶来。周游世界的机会终于来临!他扔下装在袋子里的全部家当，只身一人去一个比他所有生活过的地方更加冷冰冰白皑皑的世界去追求他的人生哲学。

回复 :Due to some common interests between German and Russian aristocracy ( the Russians even had aristocrats in their past not to mention they had an Empress called Catherine the Great, as great as this German count's heiresses… ), it is not strange that this Teutonic count has understood and even enjoyed Herr S. M. Eisenstein's "Staroye I Novoye".It is not very usual that for the aristocracy to enjoy Bolshevist films full of proletarian demands that put private property at risk or as it happens in this case, a film about the Communist Party's policy on the subject of the collectivization of the Soviet agriculture. Normally this would be perfect gibberish for this German count, but thanks to Herr Eisenstein 's greatness and directorial talent, the hardships of the heroine of the film, Dame Marfa ( Dame Marfa Lapkina ) breached even the thick aristocratic Schloss walls.And that's one of the first remarkable aspects of this oeuvre; in spite of the political subject of the film, the powerful images and lyricism ( astonishing and beautiful shot compositions ), especially during the first part of the movie, preserve the artistic merits entirely while serving a propaganda purpose. The second remarkable aspect of the film is the dichotomy between the old and new, the fight to improve the lot of Dame Marfa and her countrymen. There are many discussions because it is not easy even in Russia to change ancient and conservative customs. There are superb metaphors and social criticism ( illiteracy, bureaucracy, religiosity ) which perfectly fit the film, and last but not least, "Staroye I Novoye", is a kind of archaic documentary about ancient customs established deeply in old Russia, those ones that our heroine must fight against. And there is also a lot about agriculture ( very enlightening for this German count), especially about harvesting and how to fatten Russian cows or pigs ( literally, no pun here… ).Herr Eisenstein had to bear during the last era of his film career, unbelievable censorship and mutilation of his work, as happens with "Staroye I Novoye". The film was reedited and Eisenstein accused of sympathizing with Trostky's policies but fortunately the film was restored and showed by the German-frenchified t.v. channel "ARTE", natürlich!, including an evocative music score by Herr Taras Bujewski, that fits superbly Herr Eisenstein primal artistic interests.And now, if you'll allow me, I must temporarily take my leave because this German Count must buy a tractor for one of his Teutonic heiress.
