The 26-year-old Prince Lev Nikolayevich Myshkin returns to Russia after
spending several years at a Swiss sanatorium. Scorned by the society of Saint
Petersburg for his trusting nature and naiveté, he finds himself at the center
of a struggle between a beautiful kept woman and a virtuous and pretty young
girl, both of whom win his affection. Unfortunately, Myshkin's very goodness
precipitates disaster, leaving the impression that, in a world obsessed with
money, power, and sexual conquest, a sanatorium may be the only place for a
saint.
