Wild Challenge

Yakutia in the 1960s. A boy named Vanya returns home after spending six years in hospitals following a spinal injury. However, the happiness of his reunited family is short-lived: his mother dies in childbirth. To comfort the children, their father tells them about a distant, magical land where Siberian cranes dance, explaining that their mother has transformed into one of those beautiful and sacred birds. From that moment, Vanya dreams of witnessing the rare dance of Siberian cranes and meeting his mother, reborn as a bird.

From dozens of cities, you will always recognize your city – you will recognize it by its squares, by its streets, by its colors, by its breath, by its joys and troubles, and by its love. Four directors will tell four romantic love stories in our city: the love of spouses who have already begun to forget about it; the love of wayward parents for children; the love of life, beautiful and disturbing, and even the love of the very feeling of love. The characters of the film are worried and happy, work honestly, walk noisily and look for love without end. The beating of their hearts is the rhythm of the city. Recognize your city in every frame and look at Yakutsk, which you did not know.

A young family with a baby is visiting elderly parents living in a remote northern village. Suddenly, their child becomes sick with dysentery. There is no necessary medicine in the village, the telephone line was cut off, and the roads were washed out due to the spring flood. The young father Vanya decides to get to the regional center on his own in order to call a Sunrise to the village. But the road ahead is long and dangerous.

A man and a woman are walking along the road. Ahead-the unknown, inside-growing anxiety. They don't know much about each other, but they seem to have known each other for a long time. The dilapidated house becomes their temporary refuge, a meeting place with the ghosts of the past and themselves, a confessional and a prison. Is there something frightening lurking in the dark corridors or in the recesses of your own soul? When everything that you are used to, what you loved, what you dreamed of collapses, when life and death converge at one point, you can only believe and move on. The road, lost in time and space, as a way to salvation, as a symbol of the search for oneself in the world and peace in oneself.

This is an inspiring story about willpower and perseverance, demonstrating that no obstacles can stop a person on the path to achieving their goals, especially if they are surrounded by the support of friends and a mentor. Based on real events of 1976, the film "Triumph" tells the story of the ascent to Olympus of Yakut wrestlers - Roman Dmitriev, Pavel Pinigin and Alexander Ivanov, whose names thundered throughout the world. Their path to success is inextricably linked with the personality of the outstanding coach Dmitry Korkin - a legendary man, a born teacher, innovator and educator. Korkin's name is forever inscribed in the history of the origin and triumphant development of freestyle wrestling in Yakutia.

On a frozen dark night in remote Siberia, a group of strangers travel home together in a van. When the driver refuses to stop for an elder, a darkening shadow looms over what could possibly be the most tragic night of their lives.

The film is about the legendary singer of the early 90s, the soloist of the Yakut rock band Ai-tal Stepan Semenov, who passed away at the peak of fame at the age of 28. Archival footage, memories of friends and relatives are intertwined with personal experiences and creative search of the singer's daughter, Saisara Kuo.
