Pushkin's rebel noble becomes a Soviet TV bandit in this gloriously overheated melodrama.
A young master, Vladimir Dubrovsky, comes to the estate to visit his father, who has long been in litigation with his neighbor, the despotic landowner Troekurov. Having seriously insulted Dubrovsky Sr., Troekurov tries to go to peace, but the proud old man is adamant.

Absurdly sumptuous 19th-century nobility on a state TV budget.
