Silver Skates (2020)

As the dawn of the 20th century approaches, the city of St. Petersburg morphs into an enchanting dreamscape, its frozen canals and rivers bustling with skaters and vibrant markets, creating a mesmerizing winter spectacle. Among the city's inhabitants is young Matvey, an 18-year-old ice-skating delivery boy for a local bakery. The son of a humble lamplighter, Matvey's most prized possession is a pair of silver-plated skates, a cherished heirloom from his father. A twist of fate leads to his unfair dismissal from the bakery, pushing him into the shadowy world of the city's canal pickpockets, led by the rebellious Alex. Simultaneously, the story unfolds in the confines of an opulent mansion, where Alisa, the daughter of a high-ranking official, leads a life of constrained luxury. She craves the freedom to pursue her passion for science, a desire that starkly contradicts her father's rigid conservative ideals about a woman's place in society. In this city of contrasts, their worlds collide, setting the stage for a story that intertwines the raw struggle of the streets with the gilded cages of high society.
