Winter Flies (2018)
A road movie about the friendship of boys, adventure, and freedom. Fourteen-year-old outsider Mára and his 12-year-old friend Hedua make their way to freedom. Mara steals a car and even manages to influence a young hitchhiker. Everyone is on the run on an adventure and enjoying a sudden freedom they may never experience again. Until the police nab Mara. The two police officers who interrogate him can't quite decide which parts of his story are real and what's fictional; sometimes it is difficult to distinguish reality from fantasy.
