In the Forests of Siberia (original title: Dans les forêts de Sibérie) is a 2016 French film directed by Safy Nebbou and adapted by Nebbou and David Oelhoffen from Sylvain Tesson's 2011 book The Consolations of the Forest. It stars Raphaël Personnaz.
To satisfy a need for freedom, the French media-director Teddy decides to leave the noise of the world, and settles alone in a cabin on the frozen shores of Lake Baikal. One night, lost in the blizzard, he is rescued by Aleksei, a Russian murderer on the run, who has been hiding in the Siberian forest for several years. Between these two men, who are opposed to each other, friendship will be born as sudden as essential.
