Screening of Zhanna Agalakova’s film “A Little Gray Wolf Will Come”

On November 18 at 17:30, the Finnish premiere of Zhanna Agalakova’s documentary “A Little Gray Wolf Will Come” will take place. The film tells a story of love, lies, and the loss of one's homeland.

On the eve of the war in Ukraine, a journalist working for a pro-Kremlin television channel embarks on a journey across Putin's Russia with her rebellious daughter, who has grown up in Western culture. Her daughter, Alice, calls her mother's work propaganda, but Zhanna believes she is serving her country. As a foreign correspondent for Russia's Channel One, she reports on major events in the Western world from the Kremlin's perspective and wants her daughter to feel more Russian. So Zhanna decides to show her daughter the largest country in the world. Over four years, in both summer and winter, mother and daughter travel across Putin's Russia.

During these journeys, however, Zhanna is forced to confront her past, her secrets, and the inner conflicts between her roles as a journalist and a mother. Meanwhile, the country moves ever closer to the brink of war.

After the screening, there will be an online meeting with director Zhanna Agalakova via Zoom.

The film is in Russian with Finnish subtitles.
