Once a man of great influence and means, Ivanov has fallen into debt and out of love with his wife. Spending his evenings away from home, amongst the idle and morally corrupt, Ivanov finds himself drawn to Sasha, the daughter of a wealthy friend, who appears determined to save him.

Kenneth Branagh plays the title role in Chekhov’s explosive portrait of a man plagued with self-doubt and despair, and vividly captures the destructive atmosphere of Russia on the brink of revolution.
