The original contemporary TV movie is an intimate story of a relationship between a middle-aged man and woman whose perspective is diminished by a different set of moral values. It is also a confrontation of two principles at work in today's world - the ruthlessly pragmatic, the ruthlessly "impractical" in its focus on the dying values of interpersonal relationships, the quiet harmony of life, and aesthetic beauty.

An uninterrupted rehearsal of Chekhov's 'Uncle Vanya' plays out by a company of actors. The setting: their run-down theater with an unusable stage and crumbling ceiling. The play is shown act by act with the briefest of breaks to move props or for refreshments. The lack of costumes, real props and scenery is soon forgotten.

On the French island of Mont Saint-Michel, Jack, a failed presidential candidate, Tom, his ex-speechwriter and Sonia, a physicist, engage in an intellectual conversation about politics, philosophy and life over the course of a single day.
