A Provincial Life

Details

Misail is a frustrated architect's son, contemptuous of his privileged background and convinced that his place is among the workers. To his family's disgust, he tries his hand at manual labour before moving to a country estate to manage a farm. But the rural life to which he'd aspired brings bitter disappointment and tragedy to Misail and those he loves... One of Wales's greatest writers and directors, Peter Gill, returns to Chekhov's Russia with his adaptation of this heartbreaking story, exploring how lofty ideals can decay into frustration and hatred.
