An Unfinished Piece for Player Piano

A group of friends and acquaintances arrive for a summer day at a run-down country estate in late 19th-century Russia. Platonov (Aleksandr Kalyagin), a schoolteacher, moves through the afternoon beside Sofia Egorovna (Yelena Solovey), and every guest carries some old claim on someone else. Nikita Mikhalkov, adapting Chekhov, shoots the day as a single drifting gathering at Pushchino-na-Oke.
