Sanction (2024-)

Leningrad, 1987. A woman’s body is found on the frozen streets of the New Year’s morning. A hungover Detective Pavel Smirnoff passes the file to his partner, Detective Boris Dimitrovich, expecting a routine closure. Dimitrovich’s diligence, however, reveals a thread leading back to a cold case from the city’s archives. Their initial reluctance gives way to a shared pursuit that draws official scrutiny. As they follow the evidence deeper into the state’s bureaucratic shadows, the pressure from their superiors intensifies. The two detectives now navigate a maze where every answer threatens to implicate powerful interests. The only certainty is the pervasive chill of the Leningrad winter.
