 Countess Sofya, wife and muse to her husband Leo Tolstoy, suspects that his faithful disciple tricked him into signing a will leaving all his work and property to a Russian company.
After almost fifty years of marriage, the Countess Sofya, Leo Tolstoy's devoted wife, passionate lover, muse, and collaborator, suddenly finds her world turned upside down. In the name of his newly created religion, the great Russian novelist has renounced his noble title, his property and even his family in favor of poverty, vegetarianism and even celibacy.
Sofya is consumed by righteous outrage when she discovers that Tolstoy's trusted disciple, Vladimir Chertkov, whom she despises, may have secretly convinced her husband to sign a new will. The document would give the rights to his works to the Russian people rather than his own family. Using every bit of cunning, every trick of seduction in her considerable arsenal, she fights fiercely for what she believes is rightfully hers.
The more extreme her behavior becomes, however, the more easily Chertkov is able to persuade Tolstoy of the damage she will do to his glorious legacy. The conflict becomes so intense, that Tolstoy, at 82 years old, the world's biggest media celebrity, runs away from home in the middle of the night, and his wife rents a train and follows him across Russia.
