Cyrano has it all - a sharp tongue, a grand military career and a big heart of a poet. So why does he feel unworthy of Roxanne's love? Maybe because his nose is as big as his heart. He matches Christian, a young soldier, with the love of his heart, and writes beautiful love letters in his name that capture her heart. But how long can this scam last?

A comical story about old age, love, loneliness, and approaching death.

The play tells about Christmas Eve in an old people's home, from which the residents long to leave to their families, but life dictates its own rules.

Based on A. Chekov's play of the same name.

Old age knows no national boundaries or geographical limits. She can be peaceful and happy in the circle of loved ones and become a disaster if you are abandoned by people dear to you. Man is the only living creature in the world who knows that he will die.

Will history be able to triumph, and misfortune and loss turn into joy? Everything is possible in the theater.

The film "Who left the Light ..." is dedicated to the memory of theater director, theater and film actor Vladimir Ageev. He has been called "the main alchemist of modern filmmaking." A student of Anatoly Vasiliev, Vladimir Ageev paved his own path in art. His search and research led him to create his own creative style, to the "Theater of Mystery and Joy". The film uses archival recordings of the director's rehearsals, fragments from performances.

Rimas Tuminas' reimagining of Anton Chekhov's tale about broken illusions and dashed hopes is freed from its traditional trappings, leaving behind a battlefield for passions and colliding ambitions. We are given an empty space from which life has departed, a theater space with grey slips, a plaster of Paris lion – a symbol of Petersburg, perhaps the ancestor who built the house came from there, a workbench made out of rough boards, an old sofa, several chairs of different colors. This UNCLE VANYA is about what Chekhov’s characters think and what they admit to only at moments of emotional turmoil. They are at times tongue-tied or overly brutal, but their revelations break out of them fervently, desperately just as a man breaks out of a stuffy room into the open air. A Golden Mask Winner for Best Drama, featuring the inimitable Sergey Makovetskiy as Voynitsky.
