A short introductory film about the life and works of playwright Anton Chekhov.
Anton Chekhov is considered to be one of the greatest playwrights that has ever lived. This film explores his life and works, considering what makes his plays still relevant and restagable.

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.
