Leviafan

Kolya lives in a small town near the Barents Sea in north Russia. He has his own car repair shop. His shop stands right next to the house where he lives with his young wife Lilya and his son from a previous marriage Romka. Vadim Shelevyat, the mayor of the town, wants to take away his business, his house and his land. First he tries buying off Kolya but Kolya isn't interested in money, he doesn't want to lose everything he has: not only the land, but also all the beauty that has surrounded him from the day of his birth. As Vadim Shelevyat becomes more aggressive, Kolya asks his best friend Dmitri, a lawyer from Moscow, to help him, unaware that this would change his life forever. Andrey Zvyagintsev's fourth feature won the award for Best Screenplay when it premiered at Festival de Cannes 2014.
