Dear Relative(2025)

Dear Relative is a Russian drama that follows the Gromov family—a household of women—as they attempt to sell their apartment and go their separate ways. They've found buyers, spent the advance, and made their plans. One obstacle stands in their path: Dima, an alcoholic who abandoned the family years ago but remains legally registered as a resident. His presence threatens to derail the entire transaction, forcing the family to confront both practical complications and unresolved emotional wounds. The film explores themes of family fracture, survival, and the weight of the past as these women navigate bureaucratic obstacles and personal resentment in their bid for independence and fresh starts.
