In Uncle Vanya, the family lives in a country home, working all their hours to support their favoured 'son in law', who is called Serebryakov, the widower of the family's daughter. Vanya, Sophie, Mother and the old family nurse live in the countryside ekeing out an existence and sending the rest to their son in law in the city.
When the son in law comes to visit, he brings his new wife with him Helena, a beautiful but insipid woman who is many years his junior.
The son in law is a university professor, and he has some fame, but there is tension between the family, especially since Vanya has a crush on Helena, whereas she and the family doctor Michael Astrov have taken a shine to each other.
It all comes to a head, when Serebryakov decides he want to sell the country home where the family ilve, to pay for his life in the city, without seeing the damage he has done and the ungratefulness of it all.
