In the Russian province, Count Fyodor Turbin, a guard officer, arrives by chance and in the few days he remains in town he rescues another officer who lost at gambling, borrows money from a local but does not return it, and seduces a beautiful young widow. Twenty years later, in the same town, his son, also a hussar captain, arrives. Turbin the son is a different man: he is polite, but rather mean and clumsy. So when he meets Lisa, the beautiful young daughter of the woman his father seduced 20 years earlier, destiny seems to play a strange game with him. Two Hussars is an admirable tale of guilt and sin born by the genius of Leo Tolstoy.
