House Arrest

Directed by Alexei German Jr.

With Merab Ninidze, Anna Mikhalkova, Roza Khairullina, Anastasiya Melnikova and Svetlana Khodchenkova

David, a university professor, takes to social media to criticize his city’s administration. But instead of the mayor’s dodgy dealings being investigated, David is himself accused of embezzlement and placed under house arrest. Despite the overbearing surveillance, double-crossing acquaintances, and growing media interest, David remains defiant and will not apologise. With the court case drawing ever nearer, does David have any hope of winning this battle against Goliath?
