SYNOPSIS: Famed Russian actress Irina brings her son Konstantin (a budding playwright) out to her brother’s estate to enjoy a pleasant holiday in the country. Konstantin becomes infatuated with Nina (a neighbor), much to the dismay of young Masha (the farmer’s daughter). But Nina is in love with Boris, while Boris is currently dating Irina—you get the idea; it’s a swooning lovesick mess. Featuring a divinely lush setting and an absolutely perfectly-cast ensemble of stars (Annette Bening, Corey Stoll, Saoirse Ronan, Elisabeth Moss, and more), The Seagull is a hilarious and heart wrenching saga that poetically explores the nature of family, fame, art, and love.
