The Last StationChristopher Plummer and Oscar nominated Helen Mirren shine as Leo Tolstoy and his tempestuous wife Sofya in this funny and moving account of the great author's final months.

After 48 years of marriage, Sofya is outraged when her husband renounces his title and property in favour of poverty, vegetarianism and celibacy. On top of that, he is also considering leaving his fortune to the Russian people...

With passionate, lively performances and welcome bursts of rowdy humour, this is a satisfying story about the difficulty of living with love and the impossibility of living without it.
