Hard to Be a God (Russian: Трудно быть богом, romanized: Trudno byt' bogom) is a 2013 Russian epic medieval science fiction film directed by Aleksei German who co-wrote the screenplay with Svetlana Karmalita. It was his last film and it is based on the 1964 novel of the same name by Arkady and Boris Strugatsky. A team of scientists travels to the planet Arkanar, which is inhabited by humans identical to those of Earth. Arkanar civilization is culturally and technologically similar to medieval Europe, and anyone considered "intellectual" is executed. The Earth scientists are ordered not to interfere and to conceal their identities but one of them, wishing to stop the senseless murders of brilliant minds, must eventually pick a side.

How to watch it together from different places
Each of you opens Hard to Be a God on your own account. Herae keeps the two players in sync, so a pause or a skip happens for both of you, and puts a video call in the corner of the film so you can see each other react.
