The Seagull

by Anton Pavlovich Chekhov
Directed by: Yuri Kordonsky



 German version: Ilse Schneyder

"An idea for a short story. A young girl grows up on the shores of a lake, as you have. She loves the lake as the gulls do, and is as happy and free as they. But a man sees her who chances to come that way, and he destroys her out of idleness, as this gull here has been destroyed."


On a country estate a group of people gathers around aging actress Irina Nikolayevna Arkadina. Her brother, her lover, writer Trigorin, her son who is also trying his luck in writing, his beloved Nina who is playing in his play, and the estate agents and their daughter, a doctor and a teacher. Nina who wishes to become an actress is impressed by Trigorin's success and falls in love with him. Thereby she is rocking the relationships between everybody, leading to a chain of unhappy lovers, whose love and failing to satisfy their own standards determine their lives and talks.
