A House of Gentlefolk

In the quiet, provincial heart of Russia, the disillusioned nobleman Fedor Ivanitch Lavretsky returns to his ancestral estate, seeking solace after his wife's infidelity in the glittering artifice of Paris. He hopes to bury himself in the land, cultivating not just the soil but a new, simpler existence. Yet, fate, in the form of his devout and earnest cousin Lisa, has other plans. Their burgeoning, tender affection quickly becomes entangled with the specter of his past marriage and Lisa's own deep moral convictions, forcing Lavretsky to confront the transient nature of happiness and the enduring weight of societal expectations.
