Devils in the Bush

Alexander returns to his native village after twenty years away. He brings money and plans to build a new life, but old grievances and family secrets surface from the very first evening. His sister Maria watches silently, while the neighbors whisper behind his back. This 2026 drama explores the impossibility of escaping the past and the price one pays for forgetting. The director builds the narrative on subtle psychological nuances and unspoken conflicts that gradually shatter the characters' fragile world. The film becomes a study of Russian provincial life, where every gesture matters and silence speaks louder than words.
