Белка

Best friends: A seven-year-old girl and her elderly grandfather escape from their parents' dacha to rescue their grandfather's dog, who is locked alone in the apartment. The trip stops being fun when it becomes clear that the grandfather is mentally ill.

Directed by Sasha Gromova, Белка leans on a strong ensemble — Anna Golovneva, Boris Dvornikov, Evgeniya Rozanova — 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 screen titles of 0.
