Watch The Son For Free
The Son
In 2013, Dima Ilukhin, the cousin of the film’s director and a soldier in the Russian army, died on duty in the Republic of Dagestan in the North Caucasus. He was 21 years old. This incident marks the starting point for Abaturov’s reflection on the military. He films the training of new recruits in Siberia, as they bid farewell to their mothers and girlfriends, learn the mechanics of a Kalashnikov, or how to throw a hand grenade and administer first aid. While his parents try to cope with their loss, Dima’s former fellow recruits have to return to battle.

Excellent but underrated film
The joyful confection is coated in a sparkly gloss, bright enough to gleam from the darkest, most cynical corners.
The acting is good, and the firecracker script has some excellent ideas.
The film may be flawed, but its message is not.
