Chernobyl is the first major Russian feature film about the aftermath of the explosion at the Chernobyl nuclear power station, when hundreds of people sacrificed their lives to clean up the site of the catastrophe, and to successfully prevent an even bigger disaster that could have turned a large part of the European continent into an uninhabitable exclusion zone.&nbsp;The unlikely hero of the film is Alexey, a fireman at the power station. He is accompanied by Valery, an engineer, and Boris, a military diver, on a perilous mission to drain water from a reservoir under the burning reactor. They have no time for proper planning; water in the flooded corridors they will have to traverse is getting hotter by the hour as the molten reactor core seeps ever closer. Prepared to sacrifice their own lives in order to prevent an even greater catastrophe, the three men descend into the depths of the reactor building.

RUSSIA’S HIGHEST GROSSING MOVIE EVER Born into an oligarch family, young Grigory is so caught up in his pampered lifestyle he thinks he is above the law. When he goes too far with his escapades and faces a jail sentence, his father takes radical measures. With the help of his old-time friend, a psychologist, he comes up with a plan to ‘rehabilitate’ his unruly son. They find an abandoned village and reconstruct it, 19th century style. Soon after that, Grigory gets into an arranged, make-believe car accident, and “goes back in time”. And so, a sophisticated psychological experiment begins, where a spoiled rich kid gets ‘reincarnated’ as a serf who lives in a barn on his master’s estate. All the people he meets there are hired actors whose job is to impact Grigory’s personality in such a way as to turn his life around. There are hidden surveillance cameras hidden in every corner of the ‘estate’, and a team of psychologists watches Grigory’s every move. He will have to learn how to communicate properly with people, to appreciate life’s simple pleasures, and to do honest work. He will discover his true self and find true love.

The story centres around 27-year old Ilya Goryunov who, for his entire time in prison, has dreamt of confronting young drug squad officer Pyotr Khazin: the reason he is behind bars. Long counting on his mother, girlfriend and best mate waiting for him at home, on release Ilya finds the old life he had been yearning for is gone, for good. During his much-anticipated encounter with Pyotr, Ilya behaves rashly and gains access to his adversary’s smartphone and, with it, his whole life: photos, videos, the messages to and from his parents and his girlfriend Nina, and to strange conversations with his fellow officers, loaded with threats and insinuation. For a time, everyone thinks Ilya is Pyotr: all because of the text on a phone.

St. Petersburg, late XIX century. Nobility and middle class citizens are enamored by a new fashion – spiritualism and the study of the occult. British clairvoyant Olivia Reed is in the capital of the Russian Empire with a tour of spiritual séances. Her shows are sold out. At the same time the city is shocked by a string of violent murders. Their dismembered bodies are found all over the city and the manner in which they have been killed suggests that some dark ritual is involved. Young police officer Rostov and his deputy Ganin head the official investigation, but with each new victim they feel more powerless – they have no clue how to find the mysterious murderer. When the investigation brings them to Olivia, they decide to ask for her help: maybe she will be able to use her “power” to help them solve the case?
