The Last Station is a 2009 biographical film about the final months of Leo Tolstoy, based on a 1990 biographical novel of the same name by Jay Parini. It stars Christopher Plummer as Tolstoy and Dame Helen Mirren as his wife Sophia Tolstaya. The film premiered at the 2009 Telluride Film Festival.
In 1910, the last year of the long life of internationally celebrated writer and philosopher Count Leo Tolstoy (Christopher Plummer), turbulence mounts as the Count's devoted and idealistic disciples, led by Vladimir Chertkov (Paul Giamatti), maneuver against his more practical and family-oriented wife (Helen Mirren). The main setting is the Count's country estate of Yasnaya Polyana. The Count and Countess have a long-standing and loving marriage, but his idealistic and spiritual side (he is opposed on principle, for example, to private property) is at odds with her more aristocratic and conventionally religious views.
Contention focuses on a new will that the "Tolstoians" are attempting to persuade the Count to authorize. It will negate all of his copyrights and put his writings into the public domain, potentially leaving his family without adequate support after his death. The maneuvering is seen through the eyes of a brand new secretary to the great man (James McAvoy) who finds himself having to mediate between the two sides. He takes time out for an intense love affair with one of the Count's less content followers, Masha (Kerry Condon).
In the end, the Count reluctantly signs the new will and leaves Sophia and their home to travel to an undisclosed location where he can continue his work undisturbed. She unsuccessfully attempts suicide. During the journey, however, he falls ill. The film ends with his death near the Astapovo train station where the Countess is allowed (barely) by his followers to see him one last time.
