Two days ago, Lermontov (Ilya Ozolin) and Martynov (Yevgeny Romantsov) were friends, but now they have become irreconcilable enemies. There are only a few hours left before their duel, but none of the poet's friends, relatives or buddies think about the tragic ending. The film tells the story of the last day in the life of one of the greatest poets the world has even seen. He died at just 26 year old and managed to be remembered in history in such a short life span.

   THE BEAST IN ME  

FIRST TV SERIES TEASER WITH MATTHEW RHYS

It is not arriving to the streamer before November 13th, but Netflix has released first teaser with Matthew Rhys and Claire Danes in their new 8 episode limited series THE BEAST IN ME about a lonely author Aggie and her new subject, a wealthy scion Nile accused of killing his missing wife. This stylish cat-and-mouse thriller sees them play neighbours. He wants her to approve him building a jogging path in their shared backyard; she is unavoidably fascinated by her maybe-wife-killing new neighbor. Aggie, struggling with writer’s block, realizes her next subject is sitting before her. They come to an agreement: She’ll allow the jogging path if he’ll let her write about him for her new book. Then things go haywire. The young man responsible for Aggie’s son’s death suddenly goes missing, and Aggie suspects Nile may be involved. Nile’s new wife (Brittany Snow), a gallerist, takes an interest in Aggie’s painter ex-wife (Natalie Morales). The Hudson Yards–esque development project spearheaded by Nile and his imposing father (Jonathan Banks) starts bumping up against loud public opposition. And a spiraling FBI agent who’d previously been investigating Nile (David Lyons) pops up, spotting an opportunity for belated justice.
