Synopsis
To Live (Жить, 2010) is a Russian survival thriller you can watch online — the debut feature of director Yuri Bykov, who later made The Major (2013) and The Fool (2014).
In a remote corner of the Russian taiga, an aging hunter named Mikhail witnesses an attempted murder and pulls a stranger named Andrei out of danger. Three men are still tracking them. Now two people who share nothing — not their age, not their worldview, not their reasons for being in those woods — have no choice but to keep moving together. The arguments along the way are the real story: two different philosophies of life, grinding against each other in the cold.
Shot on a minimal budget. Seventy-two minutes, no stars, no score worth mentioning. Bykov already knew what he was doing. Stream To Live (2010) online on iFILM.
