Родной Север

Rodnoy Sever (loosely, Native North) is a six-minute 2026 short from director Matvey Lashko, and it's available to watch online right now. Actor Pyotr Basnaev plays a man whose trip north gets stopped cold by a storm.

What was supposed to be a delay turns into something else: the road keeps going, only now it runs through the folklore of the Far North. Yegor Skarednov plays the companion who seems to already know these stories. At six minutes, it's less a plot than a mood — worth catching on iFILM if short, strange northern tales are your thing.
