A Gentleman in Moscow

In 1922, Count Alexander Rostov is declared an unrepentant aristocrat by a Bolshevik tribunal and sentenced to house arrest in the Metropol, a grand hotel located across from the Kremlin. Rostov, known for his intelligence and charm, has never held a job and now must reside in a small attic room while some of the most turbulent decades in Russian history take place just outside the hotel's walls. Surprisingly, his new, confined situation leads him to a broader journey of emotional discovery.
