On Edge

Vitaly returns to his hometown after a decade away. He isn't looking for trouble, but the past catches up on his very first evening when an old acquaintance offers a 'quick earn'. Instead of cash, Vitaly gets a bullet in the shoulder and realizes escaping this trap will be harder than it seems. Alexey Petrov's directorial debut isn't just a 2026 crime drama, but a study of the fragility of human intentions in a world where every turn can be fatal. The story unfolds in the industrial zone of a dying town, where rusty garages and abandoned factories become backdrops for deals and betrayals. The protagonist tries to rebuild bridges with his family, but the shadows of old sins pull him back into the abyss. The film balances on the edge of noir and social parable, showing how one wrong decision triggers a chain of irreversible events.
