Based on the play by Elena Isayeva
Waiting hall. Five women. One Love. The main meeting.
Natalia Goncharova, Anna Dostoyevskaya, Sofya Tolstaya, Elena Bulgakova, Olga Knipper-Chekhova - female legends, women-myths, women-muses, who entered the history with their love, devotion and service to creators. What would happen to geniuses, do not be in the lives of each of his women, sensitive - or, conversely, not understanding, standing side by side - or, conversely, elusive? What would be with these women, do not be in their lives their geniuses?
Letters, diaries, texts of novels, novels, stories, poems - and behind them are living people, suffering and passionate. From the fragments of memory, from the influx of past life, love stories are formed. Five different, but equally sincere women are waiting for their only one to go with him on the last journey. Remembering the past, they return to the past, realizing and understanding their marriage, their hopes, their feelings.
Eternal questions about the value and meaning of marriage, about patience and forgiveness, about acceptance and unity, about self-denial and self-giving. On the ability to understand and condescend, appreciate and believe, be proud and just love.
"Wives of a genius" is a story about how love overcomes and denies death.
