Большая перемена

When you're 16, you can do a lot for a big break: toast for the low score you got defending your classmates, bully your secret crash, make it to the funeral of a granny you never got to meet. Or, finally, for the first time to confess to my mother. But will your mom hear you when you're 16?

Directed by Svetlana Sigalaeva, Большая перемена leans on a strong ensemble — Amaliya Barysheva, Tamerlan Asanbekov, Ekaterina Ustyugova — 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.
