Зверёк

Aspiring actress Sonya, having lost all hopes of getting an audition for the eminent artistic director of the theater, gets a job on the set of a film in which he is taking part. The girl, who is in love with her, helps the girl get closer to the artist, Vanya, an assistant sound engineer and part-time talented playwright who wrote a play especially for Sonya. However, due to excitement, all attempts by the inexperienced actress to express herself turn into awkward incidents. Time is running out, and soon Sonya will be faced with a choice: stay true to her friendship or carve out a place for herself in the sun.

Directed by Irina Prokhorova, Зверёк leans on a strong ensemble — Konstantin Khabenskiy, Aleksandra Rebenok, Olga Voronina — 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 2024.
