Plot synopsis
Set on a Russian collective farm circa 1950, this elegiac essay shows how the "Red Flag" awarded to top combine operator Tosya essentially destroys her life and that of her family. The velvet banner, at first a source of pride, soon becomes the bane of Tosya's existence. It falls victim to a mouse infestation and requires constant repairs. She feels that she must keep winning it so no one can see the damage.
