About

A Russian company director in 2022 faces war-related pressure at work and discovers his wife’s affair, which unsettles his life.

Minotaur follows Gleb (Dmitriy Mazurov), a successful company director in a provincial Russian town in 2022. He lives there with his wife Galina (Iris Lebedeva) and their teenage son Seryozha. After Russia invades Ukraine, the war reaches his working life: staff leave the country and his company is drawn into mobilisation. At the same time, Gleb learns that Galina is having an affair. Corporate pressure, a changing society and this discovery disturb the order he has built around himself, and his sense of control begins to weaken.

Based on The Unfaithful Wife
