25 years ago Iwan Petrowitsch Wojnizkij gave up his part of the parental inheritance in favor of his sister Vera. In order to dismortgage his sister’s estate, he administers it for 25 years, somewhere in the Russian province. In the meantime, the beloved sister dies and her daughter comes into the inheritance of the estate. However, the true beneficiary of Wojnizkijs’ work is her father, professor Serebrjakow, at his time a very good looking man of science. His remarriage to another woman who is thirty years younger (a woman which is also to the liking of Uncle Vanya) is a real eye-opener to Vanya: The professor is an impostor and a cheater. Wojnizkijs’ best friend is another disappointed idealist: Doctor Astrow arrived sometime ago in the province in order to improve people’s life and protect the forests – not an easy task. At least he is successful with women.
