Idiot(1991)

Idiot is a Russian drama series following Prince Myshkin, a compassionate epileptic man who returns home after years of medical treatment abroad. Struggling to navigate the corrupt and morally ambiguous world of 19th-century St. Petersburg society, he becomes entangled in a tragic love triangle involving the beautiful but troubled Nastasia Filippovna. As Myshkin's genuine kindness clashes with the greed and deception surrounding him, he finds himself caught between his feelings for Nastasia and his connection to the innocent Aglaya. The series explores themes of innocence, redemption, and the destructive power of passion through the lens of Dostoevsky's classic novel. Myshkin's epilepsy becomes both a physical affliction and a metaphor for his inability to prevent the emotional and social chaos that unfolds around him.
