August

1996 · 1h 34m · Comedy, Drama, Romance · United Kingdom, United States of America · Rated PG-13 (US)

It's really how life can appear with desillusions, good and funny moments, peace, love and hate.

Set in 1890s North Wales over a long, hot August weekend, the Victorian calm of a household is suddenly upset with the arrival of a London couple who impose their city ways and thoughts on the more rurally based family. An adaptation of Anton Chekhov's play, "Uncle Vanya."
