A Dog Named Palma 2

INTRODUCTION

The beauty of life,
taught to us
by animals in the
heart of nature

A new adventure is born from "A Dog Named Palma,” a film that became a massive hit around the world. The loyal German Shepherd "Palma" returns—this time set against the backdrop of the great outdoors—bringing with him a story of unwavering courage and bonds.

The cast reunites familiar faces from the previous film: Leonid Basov, Viktor Dobronravov, Valeria Fedorovich, Vladimir Ilyin, and Anastasia. Directing this installment is rising filmmaker Vladimir Kondaurov, marking his feature film directorial debut. While carrying forward the spirit of the original, he brings a fresh perspective to Palma's adventure.

STORY

A moving story
that gently warms
the bonds of family

Lazarev, Kolya’s father, who has left a major airline, moves to the countryside with his family. Their days pass peacefully—until one day, a small bear cub comes bounding into their lives. When the cub is taken by local poachers, the loyal dog Palma rushes to save him. Palma and the little bear must find their way home through a forest full of dangers—wild animals, hunters, and storms. Meanwhile, the Lazarev family, setting out to search for Palma and the cub, comes to remember what family truly means.
