Plots(1)
Based on the works of Russian legend Anton Chekov, this stylish treasure examines a village teacher undergoing an emotional crisis who torments himself and his young wife, while a doctor takes out his frustrations on his patients. They all arrive in the country as guests of a general's wife and profess their admiration for the simpler lifestyle, not really believing their own words. Filled with the rapturous music of Liszt, Rachmaninov and Donizetti, this classical chamber drama will capture your mind and emotions. (official distributor synopsis)
