Falling in love with the beautiful Anna, the Englishman became the enemy of her brother, Bolshevik Nestor.

🎬 MovieFinder's Take
Robinsonade, or My English Grandfather is an acquired taste at 5.1/10. We recommend checking the trailer and synopsis before diving in.
Not every film is made for everyone. Read the synopsis, watch the trailer — you'll know right away if it's for you.
A classic from 1987. They don't make them like this anymore — which is exactly why you should watch it. Best for: genre fans and those open to something unconventional.
