Platonov seems to gain the admiration of all the women he knows. Who will he end up with?

Platonov seems to gain the admiration of all the women he knows. Who will he end up with? Starring David Tennant.

Village schoolmaster Platonov has it all - wit, intelligence, a comfortable and respectable life in provincial Russia, and the attentions of four beautiful women - one of whom is his devoted wife. 

As summer arrives and the seasonal festivities commence, the rapidly intensifying heat makes everyone giddy with sunlight, vodka and passion.

Starring David Tennant.
