Synopsis edit

Rasputin's success as mystical healer in a small village leads him to be sought and brought to St. Petersburg by the authorities. Despite his façade of mysticism, he is also an avid womaniser leading to widespread resentment. However, his success with the gravely ill son of Nicholas II and Czarina Alexandra leads to his growing political influence over them, even as Russia goes to war. A group of his aristocratic enemies plot his murder.
