'Causeway' Explores Toxic Masculinity Through Its Protagonists
The message to take away from 'Causeway' is that toxic masculinity can manifest in anyone, no matter what their gender identity is.

The regular life of Tolya from Siberia is coming to an end: his wife is pregnant. Fearing the weight of responsibility he runs away to work on a shift. However, things don't go as planned. While on a train journey, Tolya meets a homeless boy Kolya. Due to a series of coincidences, wrong decisions, and the cunning of the young boy, Tolya is mistaken for a child kidnapper, and now the police are on his trail. Tolya finds himself playing an unexpected role of a nanny and tasked to deliver his new ward to his relatives in the town of Kogalym. Failure isn't an option, as it would cost him everything: his wife, job, and the future.
