No Other Way (2026)

This compelling cinematic portrait follows Dr. Anatoly Evgenievich Kurkovsky, who leads a pioneering ward at St. Petersburg’s Botkin Hospital exclusively serving individuals experiencing homelessness. Recognized as Russia’s only center dedicated to this specialized care, the program was launched twenty-three years ago alongside the global relief organization Médecins Sans Frontières, commonly known as Doctors Without Borders. Within these walls, routine medical rounds quickly evolve into profound real-life episodes, weaving together intense challenges, deeply moving personal stories, and unexpected moments of humor. The film delivers an unfiltered glimpse into a vital sanctuary where compassion confronts hardship, capturing the rhythm of daily survival in one of Eastern Europe’s most dynamic cities.
