Trigger

Artyom Streletski, a therapist known for his non-conventional approach to solving patients' problems, has lost almost everything: his family, his friends, his practice, and the ability to trust the people around him. In a desperate attempt to escape from everything that hurts he moves away and settles on the outskirts of the country, in a small town filled with his sweet childhood memories. He starts a brand new career and finds new love but the past is catching up with him, and to regain the happiness Artyom has to face his troubles and stop running away from them once and for all.

Directed by Aleksandra Remizova, Trigger leans on a strong ensemble — Maksim Matveev, Irina Starshenbaum, Viktoriya Maslova — 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 2023.
