The Prince

The film is about Prince Meshchersky, a descendant of a famous Russian princely family, the sole heir to an estate in the village of Alabino near Moscow, which was razed to the ground in the 40s and turned into rubble for road construction. Of the former beauties of the once magnificent palace, only the tall columns of the facade remain. Yevgeny Meshchersky came from Ukraine with his family to restore the estate completely, as it was before the seventeenth year.

Highway

This Shaking World
