A movie was made of the original story
The story Eugene Onegin tells of Larina,
a widow, who lives in the country with her
two daughters Olga and Tatiana. Olga is
more cheerful and outgoing than her
younger sister, who spends her time
reading romantic novels. Olga is engaged
to a young landowner named Lensky.
One day Lensky brings a friend from the
city to visit Larina and her daughters. His
name is Eugene Onegin, a man who is
cynical, unemotional and bored by life.
Tatiana doesn't realize this and falls
passionately in love with him almost the
moment she sees him. She writes a letter
to tell him but Eugene does not reciprocate
and tells her not to be so ridiculous.
Tatiana is heartbroken.
