RUSSIAN MUSES WHO CONQUERED CANADA

In the early 20th century, amid wars, revolutions, and global upheavals, millions of Russians found themselves in exile, including some of the most brilliant artists of their time. Canada became one of the countries whose cultural landscape was profoundly shaped by former stars of the Imperial stage.
This documentary explores the legendary Canadian tours of ballerina Anna Pavlova, composer Sergei Rachmaninoff, and opera bass Feodor Chaliapin. Their visits were filled with artistic triumphs, unexpected adventures, and even spy intrigue, yet their greatest challenge remained the longing for their lost homeland.
