Directed by Dmitry Dyachenko, the film stars Ivan Stebunov, Aglaya Shilovskaya, and Leonid Yarmolnik. The movie revolves around the character of Sasha, played by Ivan Stebunov, a successful wedding photographer who is at the peak of his career. Sasha has a beautiful girlfriend, Olga, and everything seems to be going well for him until he receives a phone call from his mother, who he hasn't spoken to in years.

Sasha's mother tells him that his father, whom he had not seen in over 20 years, is on his deathbed and has requested that Sasha come and visit him. Sasha reluctantly agrees to visit his father, even though the two have had no relationship since Sasha was a child.

The film is beautifully shot and has a warm and endearing tone, which is helped by the excellent performances by the cast. Ivan Stebunov, in particular, delivers a strong performance as Sasha, bringing depth and authenticity to his character.

The movie also has its fair share of comedic moments, with Vanya's eccentricities providing some lighthearted and amusing scenes.

Overall, We Are Family is a heartwarming film that explores the complexities of modern-day family relationships. It is a reminder that family is not just about blood relations but about the people we love and care about.
