Middleground (2017): cast, story & where to watch

Released in 2017, Middleground is a drama and romance film directed by Alisa Khazanova, running about 74 minutes. “Choose Your Reality” — that tagline sets the tone.

What it’s about. Him and her. A husband and a wife staying in a cozy hotel where you can come for just a couple of days with a risk to get stuck forever. It is so easy to get trapped in the daily routine. Indeed, nothing is more permanent than the temporary. Their time is like a flat circle. He has his phone calls and business meetings. She is wrapped in her dreams and doubts. All reactions are predictable, all conversations are learnt by heart. An endless LP record of life keeps playing again and again repeating itself. But a few things can break this tune, like a scratch on the record, a crack on a wine glass, a sudden glance or a meeting with a stranger. And then you know: tomorrow will come soon. Any moment something can go wrong, throw you off course, and force you to make a choice.

Who’s in it. Middleground stars Noah Huntley as Man, Rob Campbell as Bartender, Alisa Khazanova as Woman and Marisa Ryan as Marcus' Wife, among others.
