About Tower
Near the suburban highway stands a water tower, and behind its fence live a mechanic, his wife, and their adopted son, who is disabled. One day, a family from the capital becomes guests in their modest home—their car broke down on the road. This sudden clash between "city and country" will be a serious test for the young hero of the film. And not only for him.
Directed by Viktor Tregubovich, Tower leans on a strong ensemble — Georgi Burkov, Vadim Lobanov, Olga Ostroumova — 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 1987.
