Run Paula Run! A heist comedy fuelled by adrenaline, romance, film references, and killer tunes.

Struggling actress Paula races from one failed audition to another, still wearing a Little Red Riding Hood costume when she arrives late for her shift at a bowling alley. There, she slips into another role under the watchful eye of her boss Gastons. At home, unpaid bills pile up while her boyfriend Kaspars embraces matcha, Zen rituals and a string of bad investments.

Paula is tired of being told what she can and cannot do. When she learns that cash from Gastons’ businesses is kept in the office safe until the tenth of each month, she sees her chance. With Gastons away on a business trip to Tallinn, Paula and Kaspars plan the perfect inside job: masks, a getaway car, copied keys, and an alibi. They can already picture a life without overdue bills and cheap food. But even the perfect plan can take an unexpected turn.

Kristians Riekstiņš’s debut crime comedy brings an “Ocean’s Eleven” spirit to a decidedly less glamorous bowling-alley heist, packed with twists, suspects and youthful ambition.
