Chelovek iz Lesa

“Chelovek iz Lesa” (Man from the Forest) plunges into the ideological struggles of early Soviet Russia, portraying the construction of a vital new power plant as a symbol of the young state's ambition and progress. The narrative introduces Poloz, a former White Guard, who infiltrates the site under the guise of a hunter, driven by a mission to sabotage the plant. This destructive goal becomes entangled with his past when he targets Katya, his ex-wife, by stealing her young son. The film thus frames the conflict not merely as a clash between political factions but as a deeply personal battle, where a family's fate is weaponized within the broader historical upheaval.
