Cold Souls

Paul (Paul Giamatti), an actor, is having trouble preparing for the title role in Chekhov's ``Uncle Vanya.'' A magazine article puts him in touch with Dr. Flintstein, who specializes in the extraction and exchange of souls. Paul receives the essence of a Russian poet and is a rousing success onstage, but offstage, his new soul is taking over his life. A black-market courier named Nina (Dina Korzun) joins forces with Paul on a journey to Russia to find his lost soul.
