We (Russian: Мы) is a Russian dystopian film directed by Hamlet Dulyan, a screen adaptation of the dystopian novel of the same name by Yevgeny Zamyatin, scheduled for release in 2021. [1][2][3]

Plot

The Great War is over. As a result, most of the population perished. The survivors live in an impeccable, authoritarian One State. Each has its own serial number and uniform. For the D-503 engineer, who builds a super-powerful spacecraft, such a life is ideal. And suddenly he meets a woman, I-330, who radically changes his ideas about himself and awakens uncontrollable feelings.[4]

Cast

Production
