About this movie

On the outskirts of a small coastal town in the Barents Sea, where whales sometimes come to its bay, lives an ordinary family: Nikolai (Aleksey Serebryakov), his wife Lilya (Elena Lyadova) and their teenage son Roma. The family is haunted by a local corrupted mayor (Roman Madyanov), who is trying to take away the land, a house and a small auto repair shop from Nikolai. To save their homes Nikolai calls his old Army friend in Moscow (Vladimir Vdovichenkov), who has now become an authoritative attorney. Together they decide to fight back and collect dirt on the mayor.

To anyone who thinks that this movie is about Russia... This movie is based on real events in US. "According to Zvyagintsev, the story of Marvin Heemeyer in the United States inspired him and it was adapted into a Russian setting..." I encourage everyone to Google the story. Too bad, Zvyagintsev is another pawn in global politics. Another promoter of "bad Russians".

Difficult to watch because everything is TRUE! Extreme Poverty in the very rich country. High level of corruption. Hopelessness...
