SYNOPSIS
After serving a short prison sentence in UK, a young Bulgarian emigrant returns to his home town in order to help his sister get back on her feet, but the status-quo drives him into a cruel revenge with irreversible consequences.
"Hell is Home..."
Condemned to roam the underbelly of London as a low-level criminal and a starving immigrant, Belyata (Menace) has no choice but to return to his homeland of Bulgaria after serving a short prison sentence in a North London prison, where he rethinks his existence. Upon his return in the bowels of a provincial town in Southwestern Bulgaria he is tested at every corner in the brutal post-communist reality of the streets he grew up on. In a desperate attempt to find his sister, the only remaining living member of his family, Belyata embarks on a violent journey to save her from the crushing clutches of a local extortion gang lead by a corrupt cop.
A deeply dark dramatic film about violence, inspired by reality.
Warning: The film contains graphic violence and is not suitable for children and vulnerable audiences
