This is a real Russian film, with all the fullness and depth of expression of the planned storyline, in which there is drama of the depths, the beauty of the Siberian open spaces and the simplicity of the human soul, capable of nasty, vile deeds and at the same time conscious sacrifice for the sake of one's neighbor. Actors played at a high professional level. "Siberia. Monamur "is a masterpiece in modern cinema.
Story line
The film features several storylines. They go parallel to one - the main one. The tragedy of the plot is that a lonely old man with his young grandson lives in the deep taiga, away from human settlements. The boy believes that soon dad, a war hero, will come for him. But his grandfather knows the whole truth about a bad father. He is a deeply religious person and constantly prays in front of an old icon.
Hunters for antiques constantly scour the taiga. So two such seekers wandered into an abandoned village. The icon attracts unexpected guests, kindly received by the religious grandfather. A fight breaks out between antique hunters and an old man.
After such events, the boy is left alone with the misfortune that came to his house. Now he is caring for a lying grandfather, beaten half to death, and asks God for help in front of an icon already drawn by a child’s hand ...
Such moments evoke in the viewer special feelings of simultaneous grief and tenderness. Religiosity of the grandfather did not affect the boy on weekdays, and at the time of the test had bearing fruit.
Survival
The desperately harsh living conditions of two people, the strength of spirit, wisdom and old age of his grandfather at the same time as the infant, dreamy and playful character of his grandson make the film extremely interesting. Heroes survive on the brink of the impossible.
Taiga is fraught with many dangers: wolves and feral dogs constantly wander in it. They do not mind eating human meat. It sounds scary, but that’s the reality. And God forbid they get caught in the way. Grandfather Ivan, played by Pyotr Zaichenko, famous for acting and talent, has invaluable experience in surviving in such a locality. But Uncle Yura, who had always helped two hermits, Ivan and Alyoshka, to live in an abandoned village, could not return home - he was caught up by the wolfhounds ...
The director selected a fully professional and talented cast. "Siberia. Monamur ”(actors and the entire film crew) is a talented teamwork, sometimes causing controversy, but definitely worthy of recognition. Here you can feel the Russian school of acting.
Alyosha
A boy named Alyosha is growing up and, like all children, wants to play. But who will you play with if you live alone with your grandfather in an abandoned village? Around the taiga and wild dogs. But God is merciful, and one of the dogs became attached to the boy, and he to her. She became Lesha a true friend. Grandfather did not approve of such a relationship. He worried about the life of a grandson. But he could not influence the situation. It was impossible to separate the dog and the child. The hunting spirit of the dog makes her eat the only nurse of the family - the goat. Lesha scolds her, but does not refuse friendship.
The loyalty of two friends is revealed in the scene when the boy is at the bottom of a dry well, from where it is impossible to get out yourself. Grandfather goes for help through a dangerous taiga with swamps and almost impassable places, with wild wolfhounds and even criminals.
A dog constantly guards a friend and looks out someone to show him the way to the boy.
In these scenes, the viewer is struck by the impeccable game that the actors represent. "Siberia. Monamur ”- a film about people, about how a person is fragile, vulnerable and at the same time strong in spirit. It is the strength of mind that can make you survive when all the laws of nature say the opposite. Every actor’s word, every look and movement is all felt and looks very convincing on the screen.
Monamour and Fate
Monamur is the name of the village, long abandoned, in which grandfather Ivan and his grandson lived. Lesha believes in a hero-father, and his grandfather hides from him the truth that the “hero” was cut with a knife in a drunken brawl of criminals-friends.
The film reveals the characters and fates of different people. For example, a difficult female fate is shown by the example of two women - a young girl and already mature, who has two daughters of Anna.
The cripple of the human soul that the war leaves is revealed by the example of a military captain who still has the remnants of an undisturbed human conscience, but at the same time living in passions and pouring all over with alcohol.
The fallen state is exemplified by military officials who have long forgotten their honor, revel in vodka and crave debauchery. And along with this - a youthful soul, not yet very touched by the stench of passions, caught in the realities of life outside of civilization, but still able to love ...
The film “Siberia. Mon amyr". The actors who took part in the filming convey all the cruelty of modern life and the human soul, living in appropriate conditions.

This is an ongoing duel, the result of which, one way or another, will lead to the victory of good. Evil is punishable in life, even if not at that very moment, but certainly punishment will overtake him. We see this on the example of all the heroes of the film who committed lawlessness.
