The Legend of the Icon (1992)
Overview
A young Japanese girl Rin-san comes to the pre-revolutionary Russia with a great and wonderful mission: to understand the mastery of iconography and attach Japan to the Russian Christian culture. She does not know that Russia stands on the verge of tragic change. Terrible years of atheism are coming. Envy of mediocre, intriguing nuns, the tragic love of a terrorist-regicide will turn Rin's life upside down...
