Behind Closed Doors (2022 film)

Behind Closed Doors (Russian: Многоэтажка, romanized: Mnogoetazhka, lit. 'High-rise building') is a 2022 Russian crime drama film directed by Anton Maslov.^[1][2][3]

The film follows firefighter Anton Kalashnikov as he raises his 14-year-old daughter, Kira, who spends weekends with him. Their Saturdays typically involve her dance classes, followed by an evening together watching TV and sharing dinner. However, one evening, things take a dark turn: Kira rings the intercom, and Anton, after a heavy day and a difficult conversation about his ex-wife’s plan to take Kira to the U.S., lets her in before falling asleep. When he wakes, Kira is nowhere to be found, setting off a frantic search within their apartment building. As Anton questions the neighbors and uncovers clues, he learns Kira may have argued with friends and was seen with a teacher, Vanya, who once faced troubling accusations. In a final attempt to find her, Anton starts a fire to prompt an evacuation. The film’s climax reveals a dramatic rescue, with Kira narrowly escaping the flames and later asking to continue seeing her father, even with her mother’s planned move.^[4]
