Middle of Nowhere

Former classmates gather in the district center of Warmaly for the twentieth anniversary of graduation. The glorious anniversary is overshadowed by a car caught from the pond, which has been lying at the bottom since the memorable graduation. Inside the car there is a corpse and an unusual stone that turns out to be a meteorite. The investigation draws everyone gathered to celebrate into a funnel: it exacerbates old conflicts, confuses the already difficult relationships of former classmates, their teachers and parents. Everyone learns something shocking about themselves and others: who they were in the 90s, who they became and what they are capable of in the present.

Directed by Olexander Tsekalo, Eduard Moshkovich, Irina Pivovarova, Ivan Samokhvalov, Danil Chashchin, Middle of Nowhere leans on a strong ensemble — Dmitry Chebotarev, Ivan Dobronravov, Karina Razumovskaya — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.

The series landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about comedy titles of 2023.
