It is an exciting coming-of-age story about finding one’s own identity, truth, and loyalty. First, we meet Ilze as a little girl playing war at her granddad ́s farm, then she is faced with the horror of war threats at school. Ilze lives in a clash between Soviet reality and state propaganda denying what people actually experience. Moreover, Ilze also finds out how opposite in their beliefs are people whom she loves the most.

Section: International Competition of Feature Films in the Youth Category
Directed by: Florence Miailhe
France, Czech Republic, Germany, 2021, 83 min
Projection place: Golden Apple Cinema, sál 5
Score:
The story, inspired by the fate of the author's family from an area of Jewish settlements in Russia in the past, follows the vicissitudes of an adventurous and dramatic journey of two children, Kyona and her brother Adriel. They flee across half the world from the hatred and persecution of a repressive government, representing a generic type of totalitarian regime in the 20th century. The sensitive and engaging depiction of the path to adolescence in a comprehensible form tells the fate of the victims trapped under fascism, the Holocaust, and communism; its style may remotely recall Dickens' Oliver Twist or some great novels of 19th century literature. It is also a parable about a person striving for freedom and hope, but who must withstand the difficult trials on the painful path that ultimately leads to them.

Ice skates cut the ice. Silhouettes of hockey players swirl in the spray of the frost, and sharp scratches remain on the ice behind them. Talented goalkeeper David (16) is joining a new team. He will do everything in his power to make a name for himself in the Wolves hockey team. But the position of the current goalkeeper Miky (16) seems unshakable. In addition, Miky is the son of a coach. David really doesn't fit in with the Wolves. Maybe it's the small plastic box that pumps insulin into his body. But David will not be defeated by diabetes. He is an outsider in the team and faces an avalanche of bullying. Those who do not attack also do no not help. David tries to fight, but the result is even worse. Pushes, injuries and humiliations pile on each other like the spiral scars of tracks engraved by ice skates. What will David do?
