Victor is a world boxing champion, the idol of millions of fans, a star. Everything changes in an instant when, by a ridiculous coincidence, he becomes the culprit of an unintentional murder. After liberation comes the realization that there is no more fame, no more money contracts. In the absence of work, Victor agrees to participate in underground battles. However, no one expects him to win here either. Only his father remembers his glorious sporting past, and the twelve—year-old boy Kirill is a boarding school student with autism. Victor begins to train the boys from the orphanage, trying to change them and himself for the better. He will have to recreate himself, emerge victorious from all the troubles and remain human at the same time. The latter is especially important, because his boys are now looking up to him.

Most data and links to images for the Movies section come from TheMovieDB (TMDB).
Additional data for Film Titles come from The Open Movie Database (OMDb).
At least one plug-in comes from IMDb.
Data are -- hey, it's a plural -- subject to the limitations of their sources. (For example, TMDB search results currently max out at 20.) I am limiting myself to free data sources for now. (No, a "free trial" is not free.)
While much of the above data are retrieved directly from outside APIs and other such sources, data from American Film Institute (AFI) and British Film Institute (BFI) were manually entered the old fashioned way into a MySQL database. Re BFI I took the following liberties:
Regarding profile removals and data corrections:
Filtering is applied here to film projects flagged as "adult" by TheMovieDB. Pending "popular demand" I am contemplating a login and profile system with preferences (such as whether to allow adult images to appear) and permissions (such as data entry).
Whereas the overall purpose of this website is to serve as a personal demo/portfolio/workshop of web and data skills, this Movies section is not meant to compete with or substitute for far more definitive movie websites.
Whether or not he still clings to an award which he won in 1986 as a film critic for his college's newspaper, Jeffrey Hartmann is not responsible for the texts of overviews and biographies supplied by external data sources.
