Tears Dripped Into the Fo-Bo

Tears Dripped Into the Fo-Bo (2022) — watch online on iFILM — is a Russian short comedy-drama directed by Sergey Filatov.

Sonya is an actress without parts, working a cold-calling shift she never wanted. One of her calls connects her with Skull — a rough-edged gangster quietly in love with his boss's girlfriend. He becomes her unlikely tutor in prison slang. The skill turns out to be exactly what she needs when a robbery puts her theater director in danger and Sonya has to improvise. Sofia Alexandrovich plays the lead with a nice mix of confusion and sheer nerve.

Fifteen tight minutes with a tagline that riffs on Shakespeare and a title built around Vietnamese beef soup. Stream Tears Dripped Into the Fo-Bo (2022) online on iFILM.
