Storm in the desert"
Ivan's past haunts him.

After breaking up with his wife, he decides to go to Syria under the guise of a foreign war correspondent named John.
There the hero will try to repeat the feat of twenty years ago and save the prisoners.
Actor Alexei Chadov dedicated his directorial debut to Alexei Balabanov, his teacher, who opened the way for him to the world of cinema, approving him for a role in the film "War" (2002).
In an interview with Izvestia, Chadov admitted that, in a sense, he shot the tape with the help of a master - the idea came to him after the Balabanov Days retrospective, which took place in Yekaterinburg in 2019.
Seeing a keen interest in the hero of the "War" Ivan Ermakov, the filmmaker decided to write a script and "show what happened to him 20 years later."
Christina Asmus became Chadov's screen partner.
"Wolf" (Wolf)
The main character Jacob (George MacKay) is sure that he is a wolf in a human body.
He wants to get rid of this body, because it separates him from the dream life in the wild.
The way he eats, sleeps and lives in general horrifies his relatives.
His parents send him to a specialized clinic, where the doctor, played by Paddy Considine, promises to help the hero return to human nature.
In the clinic, Jacob meets the same young people dissatisfied with their nature: a dog, a panda, a spider, a parrot and others.
But he has a special attraction to a wild cat (Lilly-Rose Depp).
To get used to the role, George MacKay during the lockdown practiced the movements of the animal in the park, and also learned to howl like a wolf.
The film had its world premiere at the Toronto Film Festival.
