    It seems that he indentified with his characters and expressed that understanding through his short stories.

  • I like how the film makes the point that in his later works Chekhov was looking for transcendence. Maybe this is where some confusion came about because for some time a lot of actors drove themselves mad looking for the hidden meaning under the text and that what the characters said was all a cover for what "they really felt." If I understand this short film, Chekhov's characters are saying what they feel, out loud.

  • Especially like the hawthorn blossoms representing cherry blossoms ;-)
