Monument

Alexey returns to his hometown after ten years away. He comes not by choice — his father's death forces him to deal with an inheritance that turns out to be not an apartment, but a derelict Soviet-era monument in the courtyard of a Khrushchyovka building. Neighbors view Alexey as an outsider, local authorities demand the structure be demolished, and his only ally is an elderly woman who preserves memories of the past. The 2026 drama explores themes of memory, oblivion, and personal responsibility toward history, which becomes not an abstract concept but a concrete statue in the middle of a playground.
