A retired professor returns to his estate with his young wife Yelena, unaware of the complex dynamics between his former wife's family and his own daughter. His pompous and vain nature clashes with the humble farmhands, including his brother-in-law Uncle Vanya, who has sacrificed his own life for the estate.
