The Captain’s Daughter

About the show

Petr Grinev leaves home for military service and falls in love with Masha, daughter of the commandant at Belogorsky Fortress. During a snowstorm, Petr gives his coat to a guide who is later revealed to be Pugachev, leader of an uprising. When Pugachev’s forces take the fortress, he spares Petr but executes the commandant and takes his wife. Pugachev frees Masha from Shvabrin and allows the couple to leave. After Petr is arrested, Masha petitions the Empress, who pardons him and blesses their future together.
