SORROW
Sorrow weighs heavily on the journey of Grigory Petrov, a man long dismissed for his foolish ways but remembered for his skilled hands. On a bitter, snow-filled night, he guides a rickety sleigh through a storm, his wife Matryona slumped silently beside him. The wind cuts through layers of clothing, yet Grigory speaks to her with a mix of forced optimism and quiet desperation. His words fall into the howling white void, unanswered. He tells her the doctor will surely help. But under his breath, there’s…-

THE CATTLE-DEALERS

Early in the journey, they are already huddled in a cold, confining train van, their boots muddied and their clothing thick with dust from the oxen. Gavril, seasoned in trade, sits with eyes half-shut, more attuned to delays and bribes than to the journey’s discomforts.

IN EXILE
In Exile introduces a remote Siberian riverside as the setting for a quiet but deeply emotional night, where two exiles—Canny, an older ferryman, and a young Tatar—share warmth from the same fire but not the same outlook. In the stillness, their exchange captures not only their isolation from the world but their contrasting ways of enduring it.

A LADY’S STORY
A Lady’s Story opens with a recollection not just of a journey, but of an emotional turning point. Natalya Vladimirovna, looking back on the day she and Pyotr Sergeyitch rode through the countryside, remembers the storm not as a threat, but as a spark that set something quietly powerful in motion. The landscape shimmered in the tension between light and rain, and the thrill of nature seemed to free them both from social constraints. Pyotr’s playful remarks about castles and lightning only thinly veiled…-

AFTER THE THEATRE

CHAMPAGNE
Champagne begins in a place where time seems to crawl—on the edge of the Russian steppe, inside a lonely station where the narrator works. In this outpost far from towns or celebrations, daily life unfolds in predictable, colorless repetition. Trains pass quickly, faces flash by, but nothing ever truly arrives to change things.

MISERY
Misery settles over Iona Potapov like the snowflakes drifting down on his motionless sledge.

Mayer and Rybnikov remain indifferent, joking as if they were passing time at a tavern. But for Vassilyev, every room and every face pierces through his conscience like a needle.
