Playthings (2019)


"Now that I am dying, let's play. I've barely lived and seen nothing in this life. You are young and you are poor, and you have nothing to lose. I am sick and I am bored and I am in a hurry. I want your everything and I want it fast. So play by my rules and play it hard. All my riches are yours to win."

A dying woman of significant wealth returns with her entourage to Saint Petersburg, the birth city of her estranged mother. Disappointed by how little her shielded life had to offer, she is determined to catch up before she dies. In an abandoned factory she creates a kingdom around the throne of her death bed. The citizens of her sovereign state are underprivileged youth recruited on the streets of the city. Day and night they must play 'The End Game', to conjure up every moment that their queen missed out on. The prizes are plentiful; the mansions, the diamonds, the ferrari... But the stakes are higher than anyone bargained for. Failing is not an option.
