Kihnu Marathon

Set on an island 7 kilometers long, Kihnu Marathon's 42,195 meters twist and turn through every nook and cranny of the place known as Europe's last matriarchy. Japanese marathoner Hiroyuki is here to race for peace, only to find himself hunted by a mysterious creature from the sea. In this 8mm docu-slasher with a dance music soundtrack, Hiroyuki runs like he's never run before. Will he make it back home to his children? What is everyone running from? And why is the creature after him? So someone would milk his cows?
