We need new forms. If we can’t have them, it’s better to have nothing. Summer heat. A dead bird. The struggle to make art. Kostya puts on a play. The play goes a little wrong. his mother doesn’t like it. What’s it about? The girl from across the lake wants to be an actress. The famous writer just wants to go fishing. Everybody wants to be somebody they’re not. Nobody’s in love with the person they should be. Chekhov hid backstage at the premiere because no one understood his play. Not much has changed.
