An adaptation of 9 short stories by Anton Chekhov, with a vast array of characters acted by a cast of 5. Adapted and directed by Melania Levitsky.
Filled with the compassion and humor of an observer who is both doctor and journalist, critic and poet, Chekhov’s stories bear witness to the spectacle of ordinary people in conflict with their fantasies and failures: we are beautiful and ridiculous, delusional and ever hopeful.
Maxim Gorky said that in the presence of Anton Chekhov everyone felt an unconscious desire to be simpler, more truthful, more oneself.
