MOSCOW, RUSSIA: 'A Gentleman in Moscow' Episode 4 has been released on Paramount+ and Showtime, providing viewers with a deeper insight into the life of Count Alexander Rostov (Ewan McGregor) at the Metropol Hotel. 

Starring Ewan McGregor, Mary Elizabeth Winstead, Fehinti Balogun, Leah Harvey, and Johnny Harris in pivotal roles, 'A Gentleman in Moscow' is based on the 2016 novel of the same name by Amor Towles.

In Episode 4, which premiered on Friday, April 19, Rostov met a young girl, Sophia (Billie Gadsdon).

In 'A Gentleman in Moscow' Episode 4, viewers witness Rostov, who has been living at the Metropol Hotel for over 10 years, sticking to his routine, carrying on with his usual activities, and occasionally visiting the rooftop.

On the other hand, Mikhail 'Mishka' Fyodorovich Mindich (Fehinti Balogun), Rostov's friend, is enraged by the actions of the new leader, who has seized land belonging to farmers.

Mishka's insults directed at the new leader escalate into a heated confrontation with the Metropol guards. As the situation intensifies, security steps in and escorts Mishka away.

Despite Rostov's attempts, he is unable to find Mishka, leaving him with a profound sense of sadness.

As the episode unfolds, Nina (Leah Balmforth) arrives to meet Rostov, bringing her daughter along. Nina's husband has been sentenced to five years in jail, and she wants to follow him, but she needs someone to care for her daughter.

In the last scene, Nina asks Rostov to look after her daughter, Sophia, until she returns.

In Episode 5 of 'A Gentleman in Moscow,' viewers may witness the evolving friendship between Rostov and Sophia, gaining insights into their interactions and emotional connection.

As Rostov takes on the role of caregiver, viewers will likely see the development of a unique bond between him and Sophia, filled with moments of joy, reminiscent of Rostov's friendship with Nina in her childhood.

With Nina's husband sentenced to five years in jail, there's uncertainty about her return. Given the sensitivity of the situation, anything could happen to Nina and her husband.

This would significantly impact both Rostov and Sophia, as their relationship would deepen, and Rostov would take on a more substantial parental role. 

Subsequently, Rostov could step into the role of Sophia's father figure, offering her love and support. 

'A Gentleman in Moscow' Episode 4 is now streaming on Paramount+ with Showtime
