Yulia Broslavskaya
Purity, truthfulness and austerity were the life of young Ajamila. But an unexpected passion for a courtesan overwhelmed him, forcing him to cheat, rob and kill. He fell so low that it seemed the gates of hell were open... What awaits him at the end of his life? Will he be able to avoid retribution for his sins? Or does Ajamila have one more chance?

Is There a Way Back?

Can a single word outweigh an entire life? The film poses a question with no comfortable answer — about mercy, justice, and the price of a second chance.

Psychology of the Fall

How a single moment of weakness triggers a chain reaction — and a righteous man becomes a criminal. A story about the mechanics of self-deception we all recognize.

First of Its Kind

The first Russian-origin feature film based on Srimad Bhagavatam. Five thousand years of wisdom — through human drama and modern cinematic language.
