Stone

Directed by an unlisted filmmaker, Stone features a young night watchman at the Anton Chekhov museum in Yalta. He encounters a mysterious intruder, who seems to be the playwright himself, returned from the dead. The film unfolds over the course of a single night as they engage in deep, quiet interactions within the preserved estate.

With its experimental style and focus on character-driven dialogue, Stone presents a distinctive viewpoint on life and art. The film’s setting in a culturally rich location adds to its allure for collectors interested in Soviet cinema and the exploration of literary themes. Leonid Mozgovoy leads the cast, contributing to the film's introspective atmosphere, making it a notable piece for those interested in exploring the intersections of fantasy and drama in film history.
