The Seagull

Events take place on Pyotr Sorin’s estate. Guests have come from the city. One of them is the actress Irina Arkadina. Arkadina is the sister of the master of the house. The writer Trigorin is with her. The two of them are together. Sorin’s nephew Konstantin Treplev is there as well. Treplev is in love with Nina, a girl from the neighbouring estate. Nina wants to become an actress. Treplev writes a play for her. It is performed in the garden, on a stage set up among the scenery. The performance does not get the attention he hoped for. That evening sets everyone against one another. The account comes from the play by Anton Chekhov. Alla Demidova and Vladimir Chetverikov take the leads in Yuli Karasik’s Soviet film of 1970.
