The Actress’s Crime

Dissatisfied with the small role assigned to her by the director, an actress tries to expand her participation in a stage play and showcase her talent through a bold performance. In short, this is the essence of a short film based on the story “O crime da atriz Mariskin,” by Russian author Arkadi Averchenko (1881–1925).
