Dramatic story about two intellectuals in 1890s Russia. A story about a complex human character. Being tortured by ignorance and boredom of life, clerk Laevsky is longing to break the depraved circle of his existence. His moral opposite, naturalist von Koren, is sure that people like Laevsky are worth being destroyed. But regardless of characters' will and desires, providence deals with their lives in its own way.
