A Missing Child. A Marriage Destroyed. A Country In Crisis.

Drama

Zhenya and Boris are going through a vicious divorce marked by resentment, frustration and recriminations. Already embarking on new lives, each with a new partner, they are impatient to start again, to turn the page – even if it means threatening to abandon their 12-year-old son Alyosha. Until, after witnessing one of their fights, Alyosha disappears.

VIBE

This film is a chilling, emotionally desolate journey into the heart of a broken family and a colder society. It's a stark, unblinking portrait of apathy and neglect, leaving a lingering sense of profound sadness and unease. The atmosphere is heavy, the emotional distance palpable.
