Moscow Never Sleeps

Moscow Never Sleeps – Main movie still

SYNOPSIS

Capturing the kinetic energy of contemporary Moscow, director Johnny O’Reilly cleverly interweaves five compelling character narratives in a provocative statement on Putin’s Russia. 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 chose 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.
