In Your Head

Ironic reflection about the power of our thoughts, of temptation and its overcoming. In secrecy from his girlfriend, a young man goes to a city beach with its seductive female visitors to take pleasure in the sun. Unexpectedly he learns that his dreams and imagination are all too obvious: the husband of one of the women accuses him of adultery. The hero, caught unawares and discouraged, manages to pay off the man. But it appears not only the jealous husband has seen the hero’s thoughts.

Directed by Georgy Surkov, In Your Head leans on a strong ensemble — Ilya Lykov, Valentin Samokhin, Mariya Shumakova — 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 2021.
