Country: Finland
Year: 2023
Duration: 68'
Two isolated and increasingly desperate men find each other online and devise a plan to rob a crypto millionaire. Over the course of an evening, the hostage situation crumbles into absurdity as the assailants come to terms with the intangibility of digital wealth. A hypnotic slow-burning anti-thriller that is more interested in exploring disillusionment and social imbalance than narrative twists or action spectacle.
