PITCH

Kostya and his friends love nothing more than playing soccer at their local pitch. One day, Kostya’s team comes head to head with Damir, a professional footballer and his friends from the Caucasus region. With neither group willing to share the pitch, and with inter-ethnic tensions rising, they decide to hold a tournament, with the winner keeping the pitch for themselves.

PITCH is an exhilarating coming-of-age drama that explores the inter-ethnic tensions and societal pressures of modern day Russia via the camaraderie and one upmanship of the football pitch.
