Synopsis
About a theater troupe from Prague that is putting on a production of "The Brothers Karamazov" at a Polish steel mill. The stage production brings the father, Fyodor Karamazov, back from the grave to confront his sons about his murder. The play slowly reveals each son's role in his father's death, while offstage the characters' stories interlace and begin to reflect the themes portrayed on stage.
