Description Madame Ranevskyaya and her family of dreamers, idealists and romantics must eventually confront reality; they are deeply in debt and the only thing they have left to sell is their past: their ancestral home and its beautiful cherry orchard filled almost to bursting with exquisite memories of lost times. Highly naturalistic production, big on emotions.
