On House Arrest
Following the Russian Revolution of 1917, the rich and upperclass no longer wielded influence over the region.

A Gentleman in Moscow is based on the novel of the same name from author Amor Towles. Rostrove may no longer have his wealth, but as a permanent resident at the hotel, he forms bonds with its many visitors and embarks on a journey of personal discovery to learn real friendship and love.
