Plots(1)
After a long absence from Russia, ageing theatre director Daniil Sorin is invited to Moscow to resurrect his legendary staging of Anton Chekhov's The Cherry Orchard. He has doubts about the idea -who needs his traditional, subtle staging of the classic play nowadays? But the actors convince him otherwise and he agrees. Everything goes well - every actress wants to play the leading part, and an old love is rekindled. Until the accumulation of strange events - his discovery of a grave stone bearing his own name, undertakers' flyers lying around the theatre, a call from an Italian friend who's seen his obituary - make him realize that the actors who invited him have a very different and terrifying plan for ensuring the success of the play! A modern sequel to The Cherry Orchard. (Moscow International Film Festival)
