Жизнь после смерти

Жизнь после смерти is set to release on August 19, 2026. The film is a Russian-language drama that blends dark comedy with grief, centering on a young man named Tolya who has just entered university when his mother dies of cancer. Thrust unexpectedly into the logistics of death — obtaining a death certificate, selecting a coffin and cemetery plot, contacting relatives — he also encounters a father he has never known. As Tolya's ironic detachment becomes his primary defense against grief, the film renders the world around him in grotesque terms: a nurse who doubles as a bartender, a sinister cross seller, an army of ninjas. The film presents these heightened, absurdist figures as expressions of genuine emotional pain, balancing comic distortion against the weight of loss.
