InfoA week of vacation at the beach with the whole family! For Sam, it´s a week full of ruminating on life, death, and Tess. He´s haunted by the notion that his brother and his parents will all die someday, most likely before he does, seeing as he´s the youngest. So Sam resolves to prepare for the inevitable as best he can: with daily practice of being alone. It´s a bit unfortunate for him then to meet chaotic and fascinating Tess on the first day of his training as he´d much rather wander through the dunes with her. When she shares her well-kept secret with him, Sam´s world starts to wobble even more. In the summer heat of a Dutch holiday island, the two teenagers dare to ponder life´s biggest questions and come up with their very own answers.

Projection place: Golden Apple Cinema 4
Score:
Klaudia completes the fourth grade in Karviná and looks forward to the summer. Klaudie is wild - like a literary character, she recently almost ended up in a children's home. While playing with a friend, security cameras caught her putting heavy stones on some train tracks. The train could have been derailed. After a police investigation, she was in danger of going to a children's home instead of her grandmother's care with her younger siblings. Her mom and dad aren't interested in her, and she's going to grow up quickly - even though she's only 10.
