When Professor Ulana Khomyuk visits the hospital in Moscow to talk to the plant workers, she sees Lyudmilla in her husband's room, inside the plastic, and inmediately goes nuclear (pun intended). When the nurse comes in, Professor Ulana Khomyuk asks her something like "How can you let a pregnant woman in here?".

The thing is, Lydmilla is pregnant but it is not visually evident yet, how can Ulana know? Was there some scene where they met before that was edited out of the final cut? Did I miss something?

    If she knows who the firemen are, she likely knows their family situation etc. She's probably collected information. Not every minute detail needs to be shown.

If I remember the shots correctly (I watched this last week, but it's possible that I have conflated or misinterpreted things):

Immediately before this scene, we see Lyudmilla tell Vasily (her husband) that they're going to have a baby, and we see her take his hand. When Prof. Khomyuk looks through the window, we cut to a shot (from Prof. Khomyuk's POV) showing that Lyudmilla has placed Vasily's hand on her womb. Prof. Khomyuk, seeing a young couple in such a pose, correctly interprets this gesture to mean that Lyudmilla is pregnant.

  • Didn't notice the hand, that would be it!
