In the contemporary metropolis (megapolis), there lives a common incomplete family - Tima, a 5-year-old "man", and his mother, Anna, "a lady in search". They are quite happy together, if it were not gnawing in Anna's heart - she's always seeking for a candidate to marry to. That is why, being at a street fire-show one night, she loses her son in the crowd. Tima falls into hands of juvenile homeless offenders who are making their living by dashing under cars or by blackmail. He becomes a member of their band-family and "a source of income". All that had seemed important to Anna before her son's loss now fades into the background. The only Anna's dream now is to find money for ransom.
Directed by Ella Arkhangelskaya, Megapolis leans on a strong ensemble — Sonya Abbasova, Avdotya Alexandrova, Alesha Blinda — 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 crime titles of 2007.
