From Alone, directed by Grigori Kozintsev and Leonid Trauberg, 1931. Film score by Dmitri Shostakovich, op. 26.
An insistently optimistic song gets a curdled reprise as Kuzmina observes the sleeping village soviet and his defeated-looking wife. Note the teapot, a symbol throughout the film of material pleasures.
