A period romance set during the last year of the life and turbulent marriage of the great Russian writer Leo Tolstoy (Christopher Plummer) and his wife the Countess Sofya (Helen Mirren).
After almost 50 years of marriage, Sofya – Tolstoy's devoted wife, passionate lover, muse and secretary – suddenly finds her world turned upside down. The novelist has renounced his noble title, his property and even his family in favour of poverty, vegetarianism and celibacy. Sofya discovers that Tolstoy may have been convinced to sign a new will, leaving the rights to his iconic novels to the Russian people rather than his own family. Consumed by righteous outrage, Sofya fights fiercely for what she believes is rightfully hers.
