His search for reality in character portrayal and his famous stagings of now-classic plays are traced using archival film footage, period photographs, his directorial notebooks and dramatic scenes from Moscow Art Theatre productions. Shows the evolution of Stanislavsky's famous method of "truth in art." Shows him meeting with the actors in his company and discussing the psychological requirements of a characterization with one of his actresses--how to present the life on stage.
