Cold 2026

Directed by Stepan Tikhonov

Anapa, winter 2025, at the height of an environmental disaster. The once-popular summer resort has taken on an apocalyptic appearance: its beaches are coated in fuel oil, volunteers from across Russia are cleaning the shoreline and rescuing birds, while migrants from neighboring countries rebuild hotels and roads in preparation for the next tourist season. Amid this turmoil drifts Dasha, a local woman with a mental illness. Her goal is not to save the world, but to find a husband among the crowds of newcomers.
