In a world overrun by the undead, two young boys form an unlikely bond as they struggle to survive a brutal post-apocalyptic society in the award-winning sci-fi thriller M: Beyond the Wasteland.
Directed by Vardan Tozija (Amok), this haunting and deeply moving fable follows a boy's desperate search for what remains of humanity amid a landscape ravaged by plague-ridden creatures.
After an acclaimed festival run, including a screening at Grimmfest 2024, the celebrated Macedonian survival drama is set for its UK digital release on 10 November, courtesy of GrimmVision.
In a desolate future where zombies, known as the Evil Ones, have wiped out much of civilisation, a lonely boy named Marko (Matej Sivakov) lives deep in the forest under the strict care of his mysterious father (Sasko Kocev). His world changes when he meets Miko (Aleksandar Nichovski), a gentle boy with Down syndrome, whose kindness sparks both friendship and curiosity about the world beyond their secluded home.
When fate intervenes and Marko's wish for freedom is suddenly granted, his journey becomes one of peril, discovery, and the faint hope that humanity might still endure.
Set against a stark and chilling backdrop, M: Beyond the Wasteland is a powerful and emotional tale of connection and resilience, reminding us that even in ruin, hope can still survive.
Available on digital from 10 November via GrimmVision.
