Plot Synopsis
Bigga Than Ben: A Russians’ Guide to Ripping Off London, a dark comedy from the UK, is a tale of two likeable but wayward young Russian immigrants who come to London in an attempt to amass an easy fortune. But it’s not too long before Spiker (Andrei Chadov) and Cobakka (Ben Barnes) realize that legally, they aren’t going to get very far. So, aided by the dodgy Artash (Ovidiu Matesan) they learn to shoplift from supermarkets, rip off banks, joyride on the tube and turn mobile phones into crack.
Finding themselves drawn into a shadowy underworld of backstreet drug deals and nightclubs packed with refugees and nymphomaniacs, life begins to turn sour and the highs begin to fade. While Spiker misses his girlfriend and seeks consolation in drugs, slipping into serious addiction, Cobakka is forced into making some lifechanging decisions.
