“He's Russian. That explains a lot.”

Jane Callahan (Julia Ormond) travels to Russia in 1885 as the assistant to Douglas McCraken (Richard Harris), who wants to sell the army a steam-driven timber harvester meant for Siberia. Along the way she meets General Radlov (Aleksey Petrenko), who talks of marriage, and André Tolstoi (Oleg Menshikov), a young cadet who loves opera as she does. Nikita Mikhalkov follows her as she tries to keep her work and her own wishes apart, with both men now in her path.
