The film is based on actual historical events. It is Russia during the reign of Peter I. It is a time of the empire's complex formation, bloody feuds, and external enemies' encroachments. At this time, Ivan Demarin, a young officer of Tsar Peter's new guard, is sent to Siberia, to a border town of Tobolsk, on the Tsar's assignment. Here, Ivan meets his first love and, together with his regiment, finds himself drawn into a conspiracy of the local princes, who are hunting after the Yarkand gold. His fortress is surrounded by the hordes of wild Dzungars, and there is nowhere to expect help to come from.

Director: Valery Todorovsky


One of the most keenly anticipated films of 2017. Renowned director Valery Todorovsky (The Lover, Hipsters, The Thaw) provides us with a glimpse inside the Bolshoi Theatre. Julia is a young, provincial girl from a poor family performing in the streets of a mining town. Her big break comes when former ballet dancer Pototsky sees her potential and takes her to the Moscow State Academy of Choreography to audition. Julia’s new life is an exhilarating rollercoaster. She must overcome the challenges set by her teachers, provoked by their own personal struggles. Julia is incredibly talented. She can become a great ballerina. But she must give up everything: her family, her first love, friendship. Her only ally in this maze is her mentor, Beletskaya (wonderfully performed by the great, Alisa Frendlich), who instils in her students an inspiring willingness to succeed. This is a captivating coming-of-age-story about a group of ballet dancers striving to be selected to perform with the Bolshoi Theatre Company. It is a film about friendship, competition, dreams, beauty, professionalism and ballet. The Bolshoi is a majestic treasure for the big screen scored by none other than Tchaikovsky.
