Friend
2021, Russian. Directed by Andrey Svetlov.
Two single boys - an intellectual from a middle-income family and a courtyard kid dreaming of his own smartphone - unexpectedly become friends when the first enlists the support of the second to return the violin from the hooligans who took it away. In this story of growing up, there was a place for class conflict, and action with chases and fights, and reflections on the importance of being human, supported by the impressive performance of young actors.
