Chekhov's poetic tale in the form of a black and white film. Audiences are taken on an impressionistic journey through the seasons and the psychological process of falling in love. Gurov, a dissatisfied adulterer, pursues a trivial holiday romance with Anna Sergeyvna, an unhappily married woman. While Gurov sees it as a casual pastime, Anna falls deeply in love. When their secret affair comes to an end and they go back to their respective lives, Gurov is unexpectedly transformed by Anna's influence. A rejuvenated Gurov is compelled to embark on a quest to find Anna once again : can they keep their flame alive? Dr. Chekhov's tale reminds us that love may not make life easier or solve all our problems, but it guarantees an escape from boredom. Those content with a mundane existence are advised to approach love.
