A macabre love story set in 2019 Moscow’s queer underground, Jacob Wasson’s SMUTA is an epic unsanctioned thought-experiment about violence, public sex, and emotional exile for the end of times. As a surge of gay-bashings around the city upends the lives of Yakov and Good Boy, the two strangers escape into a delirious queer odyssey while awaiting the outcome of pending national sentiments.
