During the beta version of Gr2me we will show only the first 6-8 minutes of a feature film. The entire movie will be available via VoD after the official launch of the site.
A road documentary in the spirit of a Western, in which six friends at odds, carry their scars and virtues, and under the pretext of the director’s obsession with Johnny Cash, travel around the country to the film Village Potemkin in prisons and institutions. Their route inside a caravan will be full of unexpected stops and encounters.
