My Friend Ivan Lapshin
Drama
Russian provincial town in the middle of the 1930s Stalin's Great Purge. Ivan Lapshin, the head of the local police, does what he has to do. And he does it well.
VIBE
A hauntingly atmospheric journey into a stifling era. It's a quiet, character-focused drama that feels both deeply personal and chillingly universal, capturing the weight of living under constant scrutiny.
