An ancient Permian Komi virus was brought to Perm, which is gradually turning the inhabitants into zombies. A year later, the city is cordoned off by the military, scientists are trying to find an antidote. The planes are dropping food. But the heroes, like the rest of the inhabitants of Perm, have adapted to the new reality. They live an ordinary life: they go to cafes, do business, make plans for the future and try to clear the city of zombies on their own. Everything is getting better until one of the usual post-apocalyptic days Leroux is not bitten.

AI Analysis
Real Boys Against The Zombie uses a post-apocalyptic setting to examine how social structures persist during systemic collapse. By focusing on the mundane aspects of life in a quarantined Perm, the film moves away from grand heroic tropes toward a study of localized resilience. The film's strength is its regional specificity, utilizing the Komi heritage to ground the conflict. However, the narrative lacks visible representation for LGBTQ+ identities and provides little evidence regarding gender subversion or disability inclusion.
