Family Budget

A friendly family from Krasnodar - mom is a piano teacher, dad is an attraction designer, a blogger daughter and a romantic son - like many, buys an apartment on a mortgage. However, it soon turns out that there is nothing to pay for it. Now, in order not to stay on the street, the Frolovs do anything. To live a week with the whole family for 200 rubles? Easy! Play a classical concert dressed as an octopus? No problem! Become a social media star? You can also be a star. The Frolovs' monetary adventures turn into a comedy course in financial literacy for all Russian families.

Directed by Evgeniy Abyzov, Family Budget leans on a strong ensemble — Yuliya Aleksandrova, Anton Filipenko, Valentina Lyapina — 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 comedy titles of 2021.
