Director Valerіy Іbrahіmov

Svitlana Ihoreva, an investigator of the capital's prosecutor's office on particularly important cases, is accustomed to the difficulties of the profession: to terrible pictures at the crime scene, communication with a specific contingent, and so on. Only because of work she has no time for family and personal life. Svetlana has a difficult relationship with her teenage son, because she is rarely at home. The ex-husband also rarely spends time with the child, limited to alimony. But when it turns out that her mother is seriously ill, the main character abandons everything and goes to her village: for this she had to quarrel with her boss and resign.

 

However, in her native village Svetlana will also have to apply professional skills. She cannot stay away from the investigation into the murder of her schoolboy. And in the rural community, where, it would seem, everything is in the palm of your hand, secret passions are boiling. The former metropolitan investigator has to establish relations with local colleagues, with his own son, and with fellow villagers ...

Ticket for two

Ukraine 2013

Genre Melodrama

Director Volodimir Balkashinov

Arkady and Varvara meet in a compartment carriage – they have tickets for the very same seat. Arkady is a paediatric surgeon; he is travelling to the capital for a scientific conference. Varvara is returning to her parents’ village after graduating from technical college.
A distraught Varvara announces that she is pregnant and therefore will not give up her seat. The passengers laugh, as they interpret her statement as an excuse to stay in her seat. Her fellow passengers claim her ticket is fake. Offended, Varvara runs into the vestibule, and Arkady follows her.
In the vestibule, a conversation takes place between Varvara and Arkady. He learns her story and is convinced that she is not lying. She is indeed two months pregnant. Varvara ‘got pregnant’ by a casual acquaintance after the graduation ball. The doctors have forbidden her from having an abortion. Now she is travelling to her parents, trembling with fear.
Varvara gets off at her station; the train pulls away. Arkady watches her go, then grabs his bag and jumps off the moving train.

Thus begins a story of nobility and devotion, which will prove stronger than betrayal.
