U.S. Premiere!

Set in a small, dead-end town on the southeast coast of Scotland, Gagarin Way concerns the vindication of two thoroughly disenfranchised employees of a soulless computer factory, owned by a large multi-national corporation. Always uncertain of their job security and constantly spied on by corporate snoops, Eddie and Gary plot their revenge and invite Tom, a young security guard fresh out of university, to help them pull off a late night “heist” in a dark storeroom far from the factory floor. But when it’s revealed that the stolen goods consist of more than a few crates of microchips to be sold on the black market, Tom starts to wish he hadn’t left his post. Fueled by the indignation of the nameless and faceless plebes across the globe that make all the useless paraphernalia we build our lives around, Gagarin Way crackles with gallows humor and ballistic intensity.
