Ten years after witnessing the slaughter of Czar Boris Godunov and his family, servant Andrei (Pyotr Kislov) assumes the identity of his murdered master (Ramón Langa) and embarks on a quest to find the czar's beautiful daughter, Kseniya (Violetta Davydovskaya), who may have survived the massacre. This ravishing historical epic is set against the dramatic backdrop of Russia's Time of Troubles and the Polish-Muscovite War.
