Red is a short dark thriller set in the underground world of illegal organ smuggling, the so-called red market.[2] It's the directing debut of Branko Tomovic[3] who is probably best known in the US for playing Jack Bauer's sidekick in the recent 24: Live Another Day series and stars British actress Francesca Fowler with Irish actress Dervla Kirwan as the sadistic and cruel crime boss.[4]
A damaged and guilt-ridden man who works in the underground world of illegal organ smuggling is looking for a way out.[1]
Plot
Niklas, a surgeon who lives a life of solitude and is tormented by self-hatred, performs regular illegal surgeries for the red market. He works together with Mia, a young prostitute who lures her clients in and drugs them. Niklas is looking for a way out of this dark world, but owes his life to their violent crime boss Ed, who would rather kill him then let him go.[5]
