But this is not the worst thing that awaits Sasha. His wife made a condition: if he did not come to the concert with her son, she filed for divorce. Vika is sure that her husband is installing security systems, and does not even suspect that he himself easily handles alarms and safes. But the last case may put an end to his biography.

Tolerance, 18+

Directed by Andrey Grachev. Starring: Zakhar Prilepin, Egor Barinov, Dmitry Miller, Ilya Lyubimov, Alexander Lykov

A psychological thriller, a truly scary story. The action takes place in Franglia, a fictional European country. The heroes suffered because of the rejection of traditional values. The destruction of culture and negative attitudes towards religion and family become the causes of fatal events that ruin the lives of ordinary people. The film was supposed to be shot in 2016, but filming was postponed due to funding problems. But the script written back then has become even more relevant today. The authors are presenting the film as a warning, but it has not yet been announced about the box office in Europe, to which the work is obviously addressed.
