Кто вызвал аниматора?

An animator named Luka lives with his grandmother in the center of St. Petersburg. He huddles in a tiny but cozy attic and tries not to lose heart, making ends meet with earnings from roles in crowd scenes and performances at children's parties. Luka dreams of acting in TV series or big movies, so he periodically goes to auditions, which are rarely successful. Alexey Molchanov is a rich entrepreneur who lives at a crazy pace. He finds no time for himself or his loved ones, moving from one business meeting to another. However, time stops when, on the eve of his birthday, Alexey learns of his fatal diagnosis. The lives of both men take a different turn after their meeting.

Directed by Dmitry Rudakov, Кто вызвал аниматора? leans on a strong ensemble — Sergey Agafonov, Boris Myagkov, Olga Volkova — 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 2025.
