Háború és béke, 1. rész: Andrej Bolkonszkij

In 1805 disillusioned and tired of the futility of the high society Prince Andrei Bolkonsky leaves St. Petersburg for the army service in the hope of serving his country. He is badly wounded in the battle of Austerlitz. His beautiful young wife dies in labour. His search for the meaning of life seems to be pointless, when one day he meets the young Natasha Rostova. Her naïve and sincere admiration of the world brings him back to life. (Cannes Film Festival)
