2009112 min6.4 / 10

A richly intimate historical drama about ideological conflict and marital tension, centered on Tolstoy's struggle between spiritual conviction and earthly attachment.

A historical drama that illustrates Russian author Leo Tolstoy's struggle to balance fame and wealth with his commitment to a life devoid of material things. The Countess Sofya, wife and muse to Leo Tolstoy, uses every trick of seduction on her husband's loyal disciple, whom she believes was the person responsible for Tolstoy signing a new will that leaves his work and property to the Russian people.
