The Last Station
Synopsis
Tolstoy, having rejected his title and embraced an ascetic life style, finds himself increasingly at odds with Sofya. As his devoted disciple Vladimir Chertkov urges him to sign a new will leaving the rights to his work to the Russian people rather than his family, the conflict between husband and wife grows to breaking point. The whole affair is witnessed by Tolstoy’s new secretary, Valentin, whose love for the beautiful and feisty Masha is set against the old love of Tolstoy and Sofya.
The Last Station is a film about the difficulty of living with love and the impossibility of living without it.
