Odna (
Russian одна; 'alone') is a
Soviet film released in
1931. It was written and directed by Leonid Trauberg and
Grigori Kozintsev. It was originally planned as a
silent film, but it was eventually released with a soundtrack comprising sound effects, some dialogue (recorded after the filming) and a full orchestral score by
Dmitri Shostakovich. The film, about a young teacher sent to work in
Siberia, is in a
realist mode and addresses three political topics then current: education, technology, and the elimination of the
kulaks.
