This teaser offers a glimpse into a film that is conceptually planned to explore a fictionalized conflict between two of Russia’s greatest 19th-century writers, Leo Tolstoy and Ivan Turgenev. Blending personal drama with historical context, the teaser presents these literary figures with striking intensity. The film’s exploration of Tolstoy’s quest for moral integrity and the theme of honor sets the stage for a compelling narrative. While the first part introduces a somber tone, the second part promises a shift to a satirical, ironic atmosphere. Though full production is not yet confirmed, the teaser hints at the depth and complexity of the potential story.
