He's living his best life sentence.
Synopsis
A Gentleman in Moscow (2024), Season 1 — eight episodes adapted from Amor Towles' novel that you can watch online on iFILM. Ewan McGregor plays Count Alexander Rostov, sentenced by a Soviet tribunal in 1922 to spend the rest of his days inside the Metropol Hotel.
One attic room. No exits. Outside, the revolution grinds on; inside, the Count finds out what you can build when you cannot leave. Nine-year-old Nina arrives, sharp-eyed and unimpressed by titles, and their friendship reshapes him. Anna Urbanova, an actress, turns up next — and what starts between them runs deeper than a single season. Old friend Mishka brings word from a world that no longer resembles the one the Count remembers. By 1953, Russia is changing again, and the Count faces a choice that puts everyone he has sheltered at risk.
This Paramount+ production is one of the rare adaptations that trusts the source: it is a story about what dignity looks like inside a shrinking perimeter. Stream all episodes of A Gentleman in Moscow Season 1 online on iFILM.
