Dr Zhivago In the early 20th century, revolution is stirring in Russia. Doctor Zhivago, aristocrat by birth, political idealist and poet, is married with children but finds himself drawn from his family physically by politics and emotionally by the alluring Lara Antipov. As war in Russia rages on and the love story between Zhivago and the passionate and mysterious Lara escalates in complexity, life becomes complicated. Zhivago, not alone in his yearnings for Lara, must compete with both revolutionaries and aristocracy alike to win the heart of the woman he cannot live without. Based on the award winning classic novel and film, this is a sweeping saga of heartbreaking romance and revolution during the final days of Czarist Russia.
