Count Alexander Rostov, the central character of the television series 'A Gentleman in Moscow,' is portrayed by Ewan McGregor in a spirited performance. Rostov, a Russian aristocrat, finds himself in a challenging situation as the Russian Revolution disrupts his life of leisure and luxury. Instead of facing execution, he is sentenced to lifelong house arrest at Moscow's Metropol hotel.
Based on Amor Towles' bestselling novel, the series follows Rostov's journey through decades of Russian history, from the Soviet Union's formation to World War II. The show, consisting of eight hour-long episodes, captures Rostov's evolution from a carefree aristocrat to a devoted protector of his newfound family.
