The Good Life

It's early summer. A young couple with their eight-year-old son arrives at their dacha. Someone has broken Mom's favorite blue cup. The cup is broken, but no one broke it. So what happened? This mystery gives rise to a vague premonition of something irreparable. Father and son, hurt by the unfair accusations, decide to leave home—for good. A drama based on the story “The Blue Cup” by Arkady Gaydar.

Directed by Tatyana Rakhmanova, The Good Life leans on a strong ensemble — Mikhail Kashirin, Kirill Teplyakov, Serafima Goshchanskaya — 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.
