Summer Rebels (2020) 10

Germany, Slovak Republic | 2020 | 92 min.

Eleven-year old Jonas expects to go fishing, riding in a truck, and rowing down the crystal streams of Slovakia for the holiday. But there hasn’t been much contact with the Slovak side of his family since his father died. And Jonas´s mother Beate decides that instead of going to Slovakia like they used to do with the boy’s dad, they should enjoy the healthy sea climate at Aunt Anne’s. Jonas is stunned. He promptly packs his bags and sets off, on his own, to visit his cool grandpa Bernard in Slovakia. When he arrives, everything seems to be the same as ever, but without a wife or job, grandpa is not in the best of moods. Jonas knows that something must be done, and it’s all up to him to do it! He teams up with Alex, a tomboy who becomes his best friend, and together they develop a series of criminally good ideas.
