Description

A modern day drama, The Major is a riveting tale of treachery, morality and the consequences of conscience. Set against Russia s bleak, bitter winter landscape, Sergey Sobolev (Denis Shvedov, Live!), a police major driving recklessly across an icy stretch of highway, hits and kills a young boy. The boy s mother Irina (Irina Nizina, The Fool) finds her already unbearable pain and anguish compounded when a cover-up is set in motion to protect Sergey. Events soon spin out of control with double-crosses, betrayals and duplicity at every turn. The Major is not for the faint of heart. It s a thrilling, edge-of-your-seat drama that draws the viewer deeper and deeper into the action, leading to an unexpected and heart-pounding climax. The Major, written, directed and co-starring Yury Bykov, features Denis Shvedov (Live!), Irinia Nizina (Love Journal), Dmitry Kulichkov (The Fool), Kirill Polukhin (The Fool), and Boris Nevzorov (The Fool).
