In 1922 Russia, Count Aleksandr Ilitx Rostov is condemned by a Bolshevik tribunal to live confined in the Metropol, a grand hotel near the Kremlin and the Bolshoi. Despite being a charming and erudite man, he has been denied any occupation except the pleasure of reading and a taste for good food and wine. Now, forced to live in a tiny room and deprived of the luxuries of his past life, the Count must learn to live again with the help of the eccentric and endearing inhabitants of the hotel.
