Help me identify a movie which contains this scene: A woman and a man are on a moving train. The woman's breasts are painfully full of milk; the man is hungry. The woman breastfeeds the man, satisfying both their needs. What I know: This is similar to the breastfeeding scene at the end of The Grapes of Wrath. What I think I know: The scene I am thinking of is not from the movie of The Grapes of Wrath itself. The train is moving (unlike the stationary wagon/barn in TGoW). The movie is Russian, or of a Russian novel. The scene is presented as a parable, with a solemn voiceover. The scene is at the beginning of the movie, and the movie is from the 60s or 70s.

Nursing advice before I keel over? We've got an almost-two-week old here at home, and if she could she'd nurse (for comfort as well as food, I know, but there are no indicator lights to tell the difference) around the clock. If we thwart her drive to be hooked up every moment when not in deep sleep, it's howling time. We're trying every soothing trick in the many books to get her to calm down when not latched...

[BottleFeedingFilter] I'm expecting our first child in July. Although my preference is to breast feed exclusively, for medical reasons that simply may not be possible.
