Цепенеющий лох

At a provincial film festival, a young director who unexpectedly wins the top prize spends one absurd night with his friends. While everyone around him is discussing the award, drinking, falling in love, arguing about the coolness of the Husky, waking up the plane, the main character gradually understands that the real value of this night is not the victory or the movie, but random intimacy with a person.

Directed by Lana Okhting, Цепенеющий лох leans on a strong ensemble — Taras Shevchenko, Olga Balatskaya, Sergey Melkonyan — 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 2026.
