Synopsis/Details
In the near future, Russia lies in ruins. The state is gone, the cities are in decay — but one thing survives: the hunger for entertainment.
Millions now tune into the world’s last show: a deadly live-streamed reality game where survivors must complete brutal missions in a lawless wasteland. Every choice is watched. Every death is voted on. Viewers donate to keep players alive... or to kill them.
One such “team” is a family: Dmitry, an ex-driver; Anna, his wife; and their 8-year-old son, Sergey. What begins as a desperate attempt to escape turns into a twisted game of public spectacle, where morality has collapsed and pain is profit.
While trying to stay alive, they’re hunted by mutants, bandits — and worst of all, an audience that sees their suffering as entertainment.
As hope fades, Dmitry realizes: the real monsters aren’t outside. They’re watching. And to protect what’s left of his soul, he’ll have to make an impossible choice: break the rules, or become part of the show.
