Plot
In his childhood, Vanya Revzin studied tirelessly day and night. His mother sincerely believed that he would succeed in life, but in the end, he amounted to nothing. He was fired from his job, and his wife left him. Convinced that only cunning could help him achieve anything, he decides to impersonate a seventeen-year-old teenager.
Director Alexandr Fomin presented the film back in 2019 at the face-to-face defense of projects applying for state support from the Cinema Foundation.[3]
The director of the films Hardcore Henry (2015 film) and Nobody (2021 film) carefully followed the production of the film and tried to support the young director, for whom the film Young Man became a feature-length debut.
The filming process was led by Versus Pictures and ID Production with the participation of the Gorky Film Studios. The idea of the film came to director Alexandr Fomin two years ago, and he approached Ilya Naishuller with it. He agreed without hesitation.
