Andrey Kurganov co-writes and stars in this gay-themed Russian drama. After witnessing a brutal homophobic attack that leaves the victim critically ill in hospital, partners Anton (Renat Shuteev) and Vlad (Kurganov) set out to find those responsible. Set against the backdrop of Russia's infamous anti-homosexual propaganda law, and with the authorities turning a blind eye to the crime's motives, Anton risks his life to stand up for his rights and to seek justice for a killing he believes he was partly responsible for.

Please note this is a region 2 DVD and will require a region 2 or region free DVD player in order to play. 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.
