Returning to St. Petersburg from a Swiss sanatorium, the kind and guileless Prince Myshkin, who suffers from epilepsy, visits his distant relative General Yepanchin. He quickly captivates the General, his wife, and their three daughters. However, his world is turned upside down when he encounters a photograph of the stunning Nastasya Filippovna. Utterly infatuated, he soon finds himself caught up in a love triangle and drawn into a web of blackmail, betrayal, and, finally, murder. In Prince Myshkin, the author portrays the purity of ‘a truly beautiful soul’ and explores the perils that innocence and goodness face in a corrupt world.
