After almost 50 years of marriage, Leo Tolstoy’s devoted wife, muse, passionate lover and sometime-secretary abruptly finds her financial and domestic security threatened when her husband renounces his noble title, copyrights, property and even his family in favor of poverty, vegetarianism and celibacy. Sparks fly between husband and wife, between the famous writer and his agent, well, between just about everyone in the cast! Christopher Plummer and Helen Mirren are extraordinary as the Tolstoys, and the story is riviting and moving.
