Mr. Nobody Against Putin

David Borenstein, Pavel Talankin

Pasha lives in a small Russian town and is a popular teacher at the local school. With the start of the invasion of Ukraine, his job description changes completely. He is forced to organize activities in accordance with the new war curriculum and document them on camera. The demands on teachers are increasing, Pasha’s former students are leaving for the front, and the atmosphere in the town is becoming tense. Frustrated, Pasha decides to fight in the best way he knows how. He begins filming not only state-mandated activities, but also everyday life in and outside of school, with the aim of showing the world the impact of war and authoritarian rule on the local community. The film Mr. Nobody Against Putin offers a unique insight into the workings of Russian propaganda and tells the thrilling story of a man who decides to risk everything in order not to betray his values.
