Set amidst the bohemian high society of 1920s England, Vita & Virginia tells the scintillating true story of a literary love affair that fueled the imagination of one of the 20th century's most celebrated writers. Vita Sackville-West (Gemma Arterton) is the brash, aristocratic wife of a diplomat who refuses to be constrained by her marriage, defiantly courting scandal through her affairs with women. When she meets the brilliant but troubled Virginia Woolf (Elizabeth Debicki), she is immediately attracted to the famed novelist's eccentric genius and enigmatic allure. So begins an intense, passionate relationship marked by all-consuming desire, intellectual gamesmanship, and destructive jealousy that will leave both women profoundly transformed and inspire the writing of one of Woolf's greatest works.

The film centers on a forbidden romance that develops between composer, priest and violin virtuoso Antonio Vivaldi and his protege, singer Anna Tessieri Giro, leading him to write his enduring masterpiece "The Four Seasons."

During the Russian Revolution of 1917, Stalin attempts to exterminate the criminal underworld and fill the gulags with bandits and thugs of every stripe. Rather than weed them out, this effort unites them and creates a hierarchy that continues to this day, with soldiers wearing their rank in the form of tattoos bestowed by leaders from prison. One man, a leader of the Vor V Zakone, rises to become the very person his brethren swore never to serve: the Tsar himself.
