About the film

What it’s about

In 1937 Bryansk, thousands of prisoners' letters are burned, but one survives and reaches newly appointed prosecutor Alexander Kornev. He begins to investigate the alleged corruption behind the false accusations, only to face obstruction and bureaucracy.

What hooks you

Sergei Loznitsa directs Aleksandr Kuznetsov as Kornev and Aleksandr Filippenko as Stepniak. The film won the François Chalais Prize at the 2025 Cannes Film Festival and was nominated for the Palme d'Or.

Who it’s for

It is worth a look for anyone who appreciates historical courtroom dramas rooted in real events, stories of individual conscience against oppressive systems, and the chilling atmosphere of 1930s Soviet history.
