The Prince

The documentary focuses on Prince Meshchersky, the last heir of a notable Russian princely family. It details his journey to restore the family's estate, which was destroyed during the 1940s for road construction. The film highlights the remnants of the once-grand palace, with only columns of the facade remaining as a testament to its former beauty.

Produced by ARTE, Dune, and Goldfilms, The Prince offers a glimpse into the past and the challenges of reclaiming history. This exploration of heritage is particularly relevant to those interested in Russian culture and the preservation of historical sites. With its concise runtime of 59 minutes, the documentary provides a focused examination of personal and national identity.
