A Chekhovian chamber piece about desire and artistic ambition set in a 19th-century estate, where romantic entanglement and unfulfilled longing drive a melancholic meditation on love and ego.

At a picturesque lakeside estate, a love triangle unfolds between the legendary diva Irina, her lover Boris, and the ingénue Nina.
