After a long absence, ageing theatre director Daniil Sorin is
invited to Moscow to resurrect his legendary staging of Anton
Chekhov’s ‘The Cherry Orchard’. He has doubts; 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.
