Double Oscar nominated, The Last Station, is a love story set during the
last year of the life and turbulent marriage of the great Russian writer Leo
Tolstoy and his wife the Countess Sofya.  Tolstoy, having rejected his title
and embraced an ascetic lifestyle, finds himself increasingly at odds with
Sofya. As his devoted disciple Vladimir Chertkov urges him to sign a new
will leaving the rights to his work to the Russian people rather than his
family, the conflict between husband and wife grows to breaking point. The
Last Station is a film about the difficulty of living with love and the
impossibility of living without it.
