Synopsis

A modern retelling of Anton Chekhov’s play Uncle Vanya, set in the 1990s. Iván - aka Vanya - breeds cattle with his sister Mária and 18-year-old niece Szonja on an estate in the middle of nowhere, when their boring, peaceful life is turned upside down by the arrival of Iván's arrogant brother-in-law, Jakab, and his young and flirtatious second wife, Léna. Following the outlines of Chekhov’s story, this delightful feature has an imaginative take all its own.
