The film "Gelya" won the prize "For Energy on the Screen" at the Window to Europe festival

The Russian crime comedy "Gelya" won a prize in the nomination "For Energy on the Screen" at the Window to Europe Film Festival, which ended in St. Petersburg, Vyborg. As the director of the film, Stas Ivanov, noted on August 14, this recognition by the jury is very honorable.

"Thank you so much that my team and I are at this festival. It's an honor," Ivanov said from the stage.

The film "Gelya" was shot directly with the participation of the REN TV channel. Its plot tells the story of an exemplary family man, played by actor Ilya Malakov. The man decided to take over the hijacking of stolen cars as a side job. Paradoxically, during a new assignment, when his wife was in the hospital, he got into trouble without first looking at what was in his car trunk.

Window to Europe is one of the oldest and most prestigious film festivals in the country. During the week, from August 8 to August 14, the festival guests were shown classics of Russian cinema and novelties.
