My Friend Ivan Lapshin

Amidst the chilling atmosphere of a small Russian town during the 1930s Great Purge, Ivan Lapshin skillfully navigates the tumultuous political landscape as the head of the local police. The era of Stalin's reign casts an ominous shadow over the community, and Lapshin must carry out his duties with unwavering determination and precision. The film masterfully captures this time of uncertainty and fear, where one's loyalty to the state is constantly questioned, as we follow the meticulous yet morally ambiguous actions of Ivan Lapshin in a world where the line between right and wrong becomes dangerously blurred.
