The Cherry Orchard

1999 NR 2h 21m 6.4

Abandoned by her lover, the aristocratic Madame Lubov Ranevskaya returns to Russia, only to see her fragrant cherry orchard in full bloom: a painful reminder of her dire economic state and the imminent foreclosure of the enviable property.

Abandoned by her lover and penniless, the charming, aristocratic, and vulnerable Madame Lubov Andreyevna Ranevskaya returns to Russia with her sixteen-year-old daughter, Anya. But, on their way back to the ancestral estate, after so many years, the elegant lady sees the once-powerful family's fragrant cherry orchard in full bloom: a painful reminder of her dire economic state and the imminent foreclosure of the enviable property. However, even though the uncouth nouveau-riche merchant, Lopakhin, can't wait to fulfil his ignoble aspirations, more and more, Lubov chooses to cling to the dear memories of a once-glorious past, still stubbornly refusing to face reality, and the irrefutable fact that she is in no position to make demands. Is this the end of a golden era?
