Winter Flies

Winter Flies

2018 · 85 min · ★ 5.4 · Comedy, Drama

Mischievously self-assured Mára and somewhat eccentric Heduš set out into the frozen wastes in search of adventure – by car, naturally. After all, Mára’s turning fifteen soon. A road movie about the flies that occasionally buzz around even in winter, and a story that tells of the elusive bond of boyhood friendship and the irrepressible desire to experience something, even if you don't exactly know what.

Directed by Olmo Omerzu · Written by Petr Pýcha
