Outliving Shakespeare

“To be or not to be?” echoes through the halls of a derelict Soviet-era retirement home, where a group of elderly residents rehearse Shakespeare’s Sins — an original play in which the playwright's own characters confront him over their tragic fates. From casting to premiere night, the film follows the retired theater troupe as they bond during rehearsals. What begins as a lighthearted look at the dignity of aging transforms into a deeper exploration of loneliness, where the production of the play begins to mirror the reality of their lives.
