Plot synopsis
In 1993, Nikita Mikhalkov made a feature film “Remembering Chekhov”.
After the footage was edited, he realized that the film went wrong. thus he made a difficult decision – not to show it to a wide audience. Almost 30 years later, in his documentary “the film that went wrong”, the director tries to understand and analyze the reason for that failure. for the first time he will also show scenes from “remembering chekhov” to the audience.
