Description:

The Prince is Back is the story of one man’s uncompromising fight to achieve his dream against all odds. The documentary chronicles Russian Prince Eugene Meshersky’s struggle to resurrect his life while restoring his castle to its former glory in a tiny village outside of Moscow. Through the eyes of his tenant, his friends and his neighbors we get a rare account of what life is like for Russian people tucked away from the media’s eye. The castle’s ruins are a metaphor for the House of Russia, it’s shattered dreams, ongoing struggle, and commitment to a better future. Ultimately, however, the story is a universal one about human resilience.
