Piranha is a surreal action crime drama from director Elcid Asaei. At the beginning of the film, you can see the financial centre of London slowly waking up, ready to start a normal working day filled with boredom and routine. Nothing extraordinary has happened here for years and nothing will happen in the foreseeable future. This is the case in reality, but the imagination of individual citizens paints a very different picture.
The combat component of the film Piranha is represented by scenes from the nightmares of a young banker who goes on his first working day. He sees destruction, violence and looting throughout the city, and in these paintings he takes the place not only of the victim, but also of one of the rebels. Like greedy and voracious piranhas, these people are engaged in senseless pogroms and are guided solely by animal instincts. close
