Lidiya

Lydia Nikitina has achieved everything in life by herself. She brought up her daughter alone, and raised her business from scratch. Now she owns a small chain of confectionery shops. Lydia is certainly being courted by men, but she does not see anyone among them, with whom she could tie her life. She devotes herself to her daughter Tanya. But lately Tanya quarrels with her mother more and more often because of her husband Artem, whom Lida considers a slacker and a slacker. He also hopes to open his own business, though not without the financial help of his mother-in-law. Suddenly, Lida's examination reveals a serious illness....

Directed by Peter Stepin, Lidiya leans on a strong ensemble — Maria Kulikova, Alexey Fateev, Anna Mareeva — 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 romance titles of 2018.
