A museum dedicated to the great Russian writer Anton Chekhov is also a

Madame Ranevskaya (Rampling) is a spoiled aging aristocratic lady, who returns from a trip to Paris to face the loss of her magnificent Cherry Orchard estate after a default on the mortgage. In denial, she continues living in the past, deluding herself and her family, while the beautiful cherry trees are being axed down by the re-possessor Lopakhin (Teale), her former serf, who has his own agenda.
*The Cherry Orchard is a 1999 drama film directed by Mihalis Kakogiannis and starring Charlotte Rampling, Alan Bates and Owen Teale.[1] It was based on the 1904 play The Cherry Orchard by Anton Chekhov. It was an English-language co-production between Cyprus, France and Germany.

Notes
As a playwright Chekhov was subversive, even
revolutionary, breaking away from the prevailing fashions of
contemporary theatre to create an exhilarating new form of drama. He
created many plays without heroes and villains, and focused instead on
the individual grappling with a moral dilemma. In place of the happy
ending came ambiguity, in place of dramatic conflict came the solitary
quest. Shocking to his first audiences, his plays are equally
provocative today.
