The famous Russian writer Tolstoy - author of War and Peace (1869), Anna Karenina (1877) or Resurreció bare (1899) - resigned his peerage, fighting private property and privileges of a tsarist aristocracy parasitic resistance and defense passive education to aspire to social justice.

In 1910, in Moscow, at the headquarters of the movement Tolstoy Txertkov hires young and ardent admirer of the work and teachings of Tolstoy, Valentin Bulgakov to be Tolstoy's bare personal secretary. bare On the other hand, Iasnaia Polyana, the home of Tolstoy, the faithful and selfless woman Tolstoy, Countess Sofia Bersa feels uncomfortable in this new situation and not understand in any way the views of her husband put into encouraging discussions questioned profess love within marriage.

The topic will be the big dramatic conflict of the film with Sophia feels betrayed and does not want to sacrifice any way to become a beneficiary of the work of her husband launching a confrontation and harassment ridiculous. Amid the crossfire of interests and desires, the young Bulgakov be used both faithful disciple Txertkov that manipulates so biased Tolstoy as a resentful and humiliated Sofia.
This biographical film approaches the difficult last year of Tolstoy's life in the midst of a relationship so degraded as it had with his wife Sophia. A relationship so tense that it would a divorced Sofia at the same brink of suicide, bare and later Tolstoy chasing the spa Astapovo. Tolstoy dying to death at age 82 on November 20, 1910 at the train station Astapovo - the last resort of the title of the film - after seriously ill during his journey home to escape November 9 to procure a place to write calmly. The director of an unforgettable day (1995) and Emperor's Club (2002) directs a film with a fine historical recreation time where they can show off the usual departments of costumes and sets, but also try to create spaces for sensitivity , poetry and reflection on a film of autumn and melancholy touch. Emphasizes a troubled and turbulent history dating endowed bare with a potent ingredient of melodrama such as mutual love sacrifice for ideals involving both the refusal to abandon the marriage and the family in the fall of twilight their lives. I also recognized the efforts of a wise man, but also contradictory and problematic to preserve their own space and to abstract the noise coming from the presence of interested fans and family. An old man who claims the need for a spot to go in search of spirituality into a life of austerity and asceticism, and devote himself to an ideal ethics and absolute love. A precept of love spelled in the same movie with the opening phrase "All I know ... I know because I love" taken from his magnum opus War and Peace. Gospel of love that will also affect the innocent disciple Bulgakov just falling bare in love Mascher, another follower bare of the doctrine tolstoiana. A romantic story built youth work as a counterpoint to the crisis of marriage Tolstoy.
