JUMPMAN
O.V. Russian subtitle in Spanish and English
A woman slides a baby through a hatch door. Sixteen years later, that baby is an adolescent who lives in an orphanage and has a particular “superpower”: he doesn’t feel physical pain. And that same mother who abandoned him takes him out of there, after which he begins a career of extortion, letting himself be run over by rich people so he can then bleed them dry in court. A peculiar anti-superhero for times that are corrupt rather than epic. From Ivan I. Tversovskiy, director of the award-winning Zoology and of Correction Class. Special Award at Karlovy Vary, and Eurimages Award at the Cinemart in Rotterdam.
