In 1919, in Russia, the former Count 'Piggy' Volsky visits the publisher of the Times Nadena Kalenin and brings a manuscript that he had stolen from his friend Fedor Mikhailovich Petroff to be published. Nadena gives some money in advance and reads the document. In the summer of 1912, the aristocratic and handsome Petroff is the examining magistrate in the summer resort in Chienova in the District Haircker in the Imperial Russia. His fiancée Nadena is spending the summer vacation in Chienova with her parents that own a publishing house. When Petroff visits his friend Volsky, he meets the gorgeous peasant Olga Kuzminichna Urbenin and he falls in love for her. Olga is an ambitious woman engaged to be married with the peasant Anton Urbenin and she flirts with Petroff. When Nadena witness Petroff and Olga together, she calls off her engagement with Petroff. But sooner Petroff learns that the gold-digger Olga is having a love affair with Volsky, cheating not only her husband but also him. When Olga tells to Petroff that she will marry Volsky, a tragedy happens. Written by Claudio Carvalho, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil |

Did You Know?
Trivia | The source story by Anton Chekhov, 'The Shooting Party', is set in the 1840's, but director Douglas Sirk moved up the setting to the 1910s so the framing sequences at the beginning and the end would take place after the Russian Revolution. "With guys like [Fedor] and the Count going around, there had to be a revolution," Sirk explained. See more » |
Goofs | In the present day, Count Volsky tells Nadena Kalenin that he remembers how she was "just a little girl" seven years ago. However, the main events of the story take place seven years earlier, when Nadena was a fully grown woman. See more » |
