Young and impulsive, Natasha awaits the return of her fiancé from the front lines. When she falls under the spell of the roguish Anatole, it is up to Pierre, a family friend having an existential crisis, to pick up the pieces of her shattered reputation. An electropop opera based on a scandalous slice of Leo Tolstoy’s War and Peace.
