Taking a STAND in Putin’s Russia – an acclaimed gay drama with a twist

Anton and Vlad are a handsome, happy couple living in modern day Russia - peacefully making a life for themselves in the comfortable privacy of their Moscow apartment.

But everything is about to change. Driving home after taking a wrong turn, the young gay couple confront what they believe is a vicious gay bashing.

For Anton, the burden of what they may have witnessed outweighs Vlad s fear of probing too deeply into the incident .

Anton talks his skeptical lover into launching their own amateur investigation into the hate crime, inevitably leading to unexpected and risky consequences. An important, topical drama – STAND is both essential and gripping.

Official selection : Galway Film Fleadh, Gaze Gay and Lesbian Film Festival.

Coming to DVD and VOD August 10.
