Masha and the Bear

The moody and quarrelsome owner of a construction company, Marianna, gets ownership of a new facility, a recreation center. The newly minted hostess plans to rebuild everything, lay off almost all employees and cut down the forest for building materials. Egor, the huntsman, is the first to be dismissed. And when a walk that almost ended in tragedy leads Marianna to Egor's taiga zaimka, he decides to teach the arrogant guest a lesson, who managed to quarrel with the entire staff. Taming the "shrew", Egor puts all household chores on her shoulders, invents new challenges...

Directed by Vladimir Fatyanov, Masha and the Bear leans on a strong ensemble — Olga Krasko, Nikita Zverev, Aleksey Yagudin — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.

The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about drama titles of 2013.
