Probably, many have already forgotten the events of 2016 in the Pskov region, when 15-year-old Katya and Denis locked themselves in a country house with a weapon found in a safe, fired at a police car from the window of their dacha, filmed everything that was happening for broadcast on social networks, and in the end they shot themselves when the police decided to take the house by storm. This story became the starting point for the script for the second film directed by Alexander Hunt. The crime drama "Offseason" tells the life story of two young people who, in an attempt to defend their right to love, face injustice and rejection, and therefore become bitter. The release date and trailer for the movie "Offseason" are expected in 2021, information about the plot has already been announced, the actors are still unknown. At the moment, shooting is underway, so the announcement of the premiere can be expected soon.

Although the plot is inspired by a real tragedy that happened to two Pskov schoolchildren, it does not exactly repeat those events.
Plot
Young boy and girl are trying to prove to the whole world that they also have the right to love and the right to be themselves. Teenagers have to run and hide in order not to be separated. They so desperately prove their right to freedom and preservation of individuality that they do not notice how the line of what is permitted is being erased. The guys are no longer like Romeo and Juliet, but the true Bonnie and Clyde.
According to the director, both stories, real and fictional, have intersections, since these are stories about suicides.
Production and shooting
Director - Alexander Hunt ("Dinner", "How Vitka Garlic Brought Lyokha Shtyr to the Home for Invalids"):
“My main goal is to creatively comprehend the difficult period of a person's growing up, when he is no longer a child, but not yet an adult. When he was already ripe to begin to independently build a picture of the world and learn to look for answers to exciting questions himself. It is at this stage that every teenager is faced with the contradiction of what is contained in himself and what is presented to him as the ultimate truth. At this moment, they try to protect a person from bad and wrong in every possible way, but despite this he makes his mistakes, as if to spite. "
