Fathers

The story centers around Novikov, a successful functionary who appears to have it all—a respectable job, a family, and a mistress. As events unfold at a youth construction site in Siberia, his character is put to the test. The film delves into the complications of his relationships and the consequences of his actions, particularly in the face of Ivan Dronov, a war veteran who seeks justice for his daughter Tanya.

With a cast featuring Boris Shcherbakov, Oleg Borisov, and others, Fathers captures the complexities of life during a politically charged era in the Soviet Union. Its setting in Siberia and focus on the Komsomol youth adds depth to the narrative, illustrating the struggles of individuals caught in a web of societal expectations and personal desires.
