Contrasting visions of world cinema
RUSSIA | 98 minutes | 2019
The lives of twenty-something Pete and Sasha revolve around orgies and any random substance in a Russia where dancing to EDM in a club could get them arrested. Misunderstood and neglected by their parents, they test their limits and reconsider their lives when tragedy strikes their group of friends. After gaining critical acclaim on the festival circuit (Berlin, GoEast Film Festival, Kinotavr), actor Alexander Gorchilin (Leto) makes his outstanding debut behind the camera in this clinical dissection of young people tormented by loneliness who will do anything to stave off boredom.NORTH AMERICAN PREMIERE"an interesting time capture of the state of a country that is still reeling from a monumental shakeup even after more than a quarter of a century."
