A successful life -- until one pain shatters everything he thought he knew.
When respected judge Ivan Ilyich falls gravely ill, his comfortable world collapses. Friends grow distant, family becomes strained, and he confronts, for the first time, the emptiness behind his carefully built life. Alone with his fear, Ivan begins a powerful inner journey -- one that strips away illusion and leads him toward a truth as simple as it is transformative.
