Natasha, Pierre & The Great Comet of 1812

In Europe, the Napoleonic Wars are raging, but in Moscow, the opulent world of the Russian elite continues to party under the magical glow of the Great Comet of 1812. (That comet was in sight for 260 days!) . Innocent Natasha arrives in Moscow, awaiting the return of her fiancé, Andrey. When she meets the seductive Anatole, she quickly falls in love with the charming thug. But when Natasha renounces her engagement and tries to elope with Anatole, it's up to Pierre – who is lost and desperate to feel alive again – to save Natasha and her family from ruin.
