Plot synopsis
Believe! is based on the literary work of Vasily Shukshin. The main characters of three of Shukshin’s short stories are brought together to address the questions of faith and loyalty.

The journey has its ups and downs: comical situations with his wife and drinking buddy, Ilya, as well as the tragic encounters with Sergei, the painter. The audience will also glimpse Maksim’s inner most thoughts and dreams. Believe! was shot in the Arkhangelsk region of Russia.
