Her colleagues tell her that she looks like a scarecrow cause she ran in wet from the rain, when she’s looking probably as beautiful as anyone ever has, that’s a real “source for this claim?” moment...
I love it so much when non-Russians love that film.

I already forgot the nightmare when I first mentioned it (I looked it up, it's in the dreams thread) so there no more information to be found there, unfortunately. I remember the images of the waving bedsheets in the house having something to do with it or something. The scenes with the mother I also remember (who wouldn't?). It's been quite a long time since I've seen it though, I should rewatch it
