There would be no Anton without women, just as there is no Anton without the women of his literature. Chekhov enjoyed the universal adoration of actresses, singers and female writers. But can it be said that he was their friend?

Janusz Opryński, inspired by Frolov’s book, tries to draw a nuanced picture of Chekhov’s female-male themes. He looks for the real faces of the heroines and heroes, their loves, dilemmas and betrayals in his literature – in his dramas and short stories. For him, scenes from Chekhov are a pretext for stories about eternal longings, freedom and love.
