Pyotr495

International Short Film Competition

Sixteen-year-old Pyotr is lying at home and there's Father Frost on TV. But that doesn't satisfy him, so he turns on a dating app and goes out. Instead of fun, Pyotr becomes prey to a nationalist group that uses the app to hunt their victims. The reality of Russian homophobia, supported by the governing authorities, serves as the basis for a horror with an unexpected twist.
