Directed by: Felix Umarov
Genres: Romance, Music
Starring: Yura Borisov, Alyona Dolgolenko, Roman Vasilev

Overview: Alexander Pushkin is young, brash and adored by high society. He is the star at every ball he attends, his fans revere his poetic talent, and young women dream of winning his attention. However, not even his aristocratic patrons and loyal friends, nor his growing fame can keep him from dueling, getting exiled, and becoming destitute. Only when he meets his true love does he find meaning in life, and his genius develops to make him the legend the world knows today.
