A young music video director, a ballet dancer and a dolce vita seeker - they come to Moscow to conquer the city, but each of them goes their own way. Sooner or later the three of them realize: to get what you are striving for you might risk many things, but friendship and love.

Henry, a newly resurrected cyborg who must save his wife/creator from the clutches of a psychotic tyrant with telekinetic powers, AKAN, and his army of mercenaries. Fighting alongside Henry is Jimmy, who is Henry's only hope to make it through the day. Hardcore Henry takes place over the course of one day, in Moscow, Russia.

A satirical interpretation of the modern debut launch process from the perspective of two young director's personal experience. Chivalrous walk to the meeting with a producer becomes a nostalgic journey down memory lanes where fears, turmoils and disappointments of recent months are mixed together. The path to dream's implementation is hampered by mainstream's lack of understanding - the confrontation which resembles a fight with windmills.
