The Confrontation

In the apartment of Anna, who, judging by her testimony to the investigation, was on a business trip, a fire broke out at night. The son was saved, but as a result of a nervous shock he was speechless. The investigation, the mother and father of the child will find out the true cause of the tragedy.

Directed by Valeri Kremnyov, The Confrontation leans on a strong ensemble — Elena Safonova, Nikolai Karachentsov, Lyudmila Polyakova — 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 mystery titles of 1986.
