Stranded in a remote provincial town, three sisters dream of returning to the Moscow of their youth. When a military garrison arrives nearby, the officers become their guests and suddenly a new life seems to be within reach. Liaisons develop, love is in the air and hopes run high – but the sisters reckon without the weakness of their brother, the grasping ambitions of his wife, and the strange eccentricities of a certain lieutenant. An explosion is brewing and matters come to a head on a frantic night of fire in Anton Chekhov’s Three Sisters.
