The Landlord is a modern adaptation of the legendary classic play by the great Ukrainian playwright Ivan Karpovich Karpenko-Kary.

At its core, the plot revolves around an eternal conflict — the relationship between parents and children: Terentia and Sonya Bubble. Upon returning home from studying at Harvard, Sonya, raised on principles of respect for private property, democracy, and honest business practices, endeavors to comprehend her influential father’s business to assume control in the future. In her exploration, she uncovers unsettling truths — corruption, illegal land acquisition, meager payments to peasants, and the unlawful cultivation of ‘free land.’

Nurtured in love and respect for her parents, Sonya initially hesitates to oppose her father’s interests. However, she eventually enters into open confrontation, striving for justice.

Her conflict with Terentius Bubble is further complicated by the imposition of a suitor, chosen by her father without her consent.

Terentiy Bubble, a modern-day dollar multimillionaire and owner of an agricultural holding, sees himself as the ‘master’ of the region and human destinies. Manipulating and intimidating people to maintain influence and increase his fortune, he stubbornly clings to outdated practices, oblivious to the evolving world around him. Bubble fails to notice that he has surrounded himself with equally unprincipled individuals who are prepared to betray him at any moment.

Will he recognize his mistakes in time, and can he change? Who will emerge victorious in this clash of worlds?
