An Unfinished Piece for a Mechanical Piano

Description:

One of the best adaptations of Chekhov's works ("The Fatherlessness", "In the Manor", "The Teacher of Literature", "Three Years", "My Life"), filmed by Nikita Mikhalkov. Great cast! The film recreates the ideal atmosphere of a quiet gentry's nest. Michel Platonov in his youth was smart, bold, gave high hopes and was in love with the lovely Sophie, but he became a loser. And now, seven years later, visiting the general's house, where the entire district "beau monde" is going to gather, they meet again - a simple village teacher Platonov and Sophia - a solid, obsessed "married" lady. Once she was his love ... Will they be able to understand their "confused" feelings and together start a "clean new life"?
