Abyss
Dasha and Sasha are happy newlyweds. A honeymoon and a parachute jump over the foothills of Mount Elbrus should be the beginning of their new life. But fate makes its own adjustments. The pilot turns out to be Artyom, Dasha's ex, whom she didn't even want to remember. When the plane crashes, the three of them have to jump without preparation. The slings get tangled. They miraculously stay alive — but find themselves suspended over a mountain precipice in the midst of raging forest fires. Dasha finds herself between two men, with each of whom her life is connected. One is the present. The other is the unhealed past.
