Moscow Never Sleeps is a multi-narrative drama about the hidden bonds that connects us all. The film dives headlong into the volatile intersections of contemporary Moscow and the intimate lives of five people: an entrepreneur whose business empire comes under siege by powerful bureaucrats; a teenage girl mired in the misery of a broken home; a young man forced to choose between his girlfriend and his grandmother; a beautiful singer torn apart by the pursuit of two men; and an ailing film star who gets embroiled in a bizarre kidnapping. Over the course of one day, their lives will change forever.
These stories capture the kinetic energy of the Russian capital in a provocative statement on Putin’s Russia. They blast through Moscow’s choked cityscape to reveal the unrestrained energy of Europe’s biggest city and the cruelty and beauty of the Russian spirit.
