Cientos de mujeres me envidiarían, ¿no? Una hermosa casa en el campo ruso. Un esposo que me adora, un círculo de admiradores. Una vida de orden, tranquilidad y restricción silenciosa. Es suficiente para hacerte gritar.
Natalya Petrovna parece ante el mundo una mujer satisfecha, pero la llegada de un joven tutor sin dinero agita un corazón inquieto, encendiendo una chispa de deseo que incendia el verano.
A Month in the Country enfrenta la pasión contra la propiedad, mientras un elenco de personajes lucha por reconciliar las vidas que llevan con la felicidad que anhelan. Lyndsey Turner dirige la reinterpretación de Brian Friel de la obra más famosa de Turguenev.
