To Be
Watch TrailerAlexey, an unassuming librarian from a provincial town, discovers he can travel through time simply by falling asleep on certain history books. His first journey lands him in 1962 Moscow, where he accidentally becomes an extra in a Soviet comedy film shoot. Trying to find his way home, Alexey gets swept into a series of absurd situations: from helping Leo Tolstoy locate a missing manuscript to unwittingly participating in an 18th-century palace coup. This 2026 historical comedy walks the line between farce and philosophical parable, exploring what it means 'to be' across different eras when your own reality becomes the most unreliable anchor.

🎬 MovieFinder's Take
The director employs static, almost theatrical framings for historical periods, sharply contrasted with dynamic, quasi-documentary camerawork for the present day. The dialogue thrives on the clash of historical anachronisms and contemporary slang.
Those who appreciate witty historical references wrapped in situational comedy will find much to enjoy. What lingers is a peculiar sense of levity applied to weighty questions. — MovieFinder Editorial
