Helena Kaut-HowsonVillage schoolteacher Platonov is a man who is loved by women. Despite
his best intentions he is drawn into a series of extra-marital affairs that all
hold the promise of escape from the provincial Russian reality where he and his
circle of friends are trapped. Consumed by bitterness and disappointment, they
attempt to fill the void in their lives with sex and vodka, blaming their
fathers for the mess theyve been left in.
