About To Be
Growing up without parents, young rapper Ilya is desperate to reach the top of the charts. He is ready to do anything for the sake of success, but fate magically sends him from 2023 to the harsh 1993, where he meets his young parents and gets into the dashing adventures of that time. Ilya has only three days to change the fate of his family. To be in the future or not to be, now depends only on him.
Directed by Alexandr Kovtunets, To Be leans on a strong ensemble — Oleg Gaas, Dmitry Vlaskin, Margarita Abroskina — 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 science fiction titles of 2023.
