Episode 2
Platonov seems to gain the admiration of all the women he knows. Who will he end up with? Starring David Tennant.
Village schoolmaster Platonov has it all - wit, intelligence, a comfortable and respectable life in provincial Russia, and the attentions of four beautiful women - one of whom is his devoted wife.
As summer arrives and the seasonal festivities commence, the rapidly intensifying heat makes everyone giddy with sunlight, vodka and passion.
Starring David Tennant.
