Anton P. Chekhov - the "artist of life", as described by Leo Tolstoy, in Uncle Vanya entangles and untangles the love and erotic relationships of the central characters, and at the same time confronts his characters and the audience with questions about the meaning of their own actions and being. The confrontations take place on an estate in the middle of the Russian vastness, far from the railway, big cities and world events. The everyday life of the rural schoolchildren, Sonja, Uncle Vanja and doctor Astrov, takes place in a steady rhythm of work and occasional meetings, until it is broken by the arrival of retired university professor Serebrjakov and his much younger and beautiful wife Jelena Andreevna. At first it seems that they have only come to visit, but it soon turns out that the professor has other intentions.
