About Lady Macbeth of Mtsensk District

Meet Katerina. She is a typical twenty-three year-old girl. She is pretty, and she enjoys going to the theatre and to balls. She is married to a rich merchant and she lives in comfort.

Life is easy: she does not work, she does not have children, and she does not have any responsibilities.

But she is bored at home because her rich husband is busy with work.

One day, she goes for a walk and talks to her husband’s employees. She meets a handsome young man, who will change her life forever.

Follow Katerina and see where her fatal obsession leads…
