| A drama lifted by moments of humour, 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 life style, 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 whole affair is witnessed by Tolstoy’s new secretary, Valentin Bulgakov, whose love for the beautiful and feisty Masha is set against the old love of Tolstoy and Sofya.
The Last Station is a film about the difficulty of living with love and the impossibility of living without it.
