In the midst of a difficult divorce seething with grudges, frustrations and accusations, Ženja and Boris, who have found new life partners, cannot wait to turn over a new leaf – even if this means separating from their twelve-year-old son. But when young Alexey witnesses yet another traumatic argument between his parents, he suddenly disappears.
Russian filmmaker Andrej Zvyagintsev (Leviathan) offers an unforgiving critique of the lovelessness and moral unravelling of middle-class Russian society in this allegorical family drama. Winner of the Jury Prize and Palme d'Or for Best Foreign Language Film at the 2017 Cannes Film Festival.
