โœฆ Synopsis

From the winner of the Nobel Prize for Literature, Doris Lessing, a short story about a young woman's attempts to juggle her political beliefs with everyday life. On the day that the newspapers report that Stalin is dying, a young woman, with communist sympathies, attempts to look after her aunt and cousin on a disastrous trip to a photographer. Lightly satirical about the absurd ways people can behave, no matter what their political views, 'The Day Stalin Died' shows Doris Lessing at her most wry.
