在这部樱桃园剧情片中,朗涅夫斯卡娅（夏洛特·兰普林 Charlotte Rampling 饰）曾是衔着金汤匙出生的千金大小姐。一天，她想到了家中曾经拥有的樱桃园，于是决定返回家乡。然而，朗涅夫斯卡娅早已经过惯了毫无节制的奢靡生活，导致债台高筑濒临破产，不得不开始考虑卖掉樱桃园以抵消债务。
罗巴辛（欧文·蒂尔 Owen Teale 饰）的父亲曾是在樱桃园里工作的奴隶，如今，早已经重获自由的罗巴辛摇身一变成为了精于算计的商人。罗巴辛建议朗涅夫斯卡娅将园内的樱桃树悉数砍掉，建造一些别墅用来出租，可是朗涅夫斯卡娅拒绝了罗巴辛的建议，依旧沉浸在毫无现实的幻想之中。
Madame Ranevskaya (Rampling) is a spoiled aging aristocratic lady, who returns from a trip to Paris to face the loss of her magnificent Cherry Orchard estate after a default on the mortgage. In denial, she continues living in the past, deluding herself and her family, while the beautiful cherry trees are being axed down by the re-possessor Lopakhin (Teale), her former serf, who has his own agenda.
