A secret terrorist group infiltrates the household of a government official`s son, with a view to spying on the father and, ultimately, assassinating him. But the young man entrusted with the task - an ailing, world-weary "nobody" - seized with the purposelessness of life and a sense of his own impending death, gradually becomes disillusioned with his mission, and decides to embark on a new path which will lead him to tragedy. Combining psychological detail with a strong sense of place and time, "The Story of a Nobody" bears all the hallmarks of Chekhov`s genius, and perfectly captures the political and social tensions of its day.
There`s a killer on the loose who knows that beauty is only skin deep, and a trainee investigator who`s trying to save her own hide. The only man who can help is locked in an asylum. But he`s willing to put a brave face on - if it will help him escape.
