Over the Hills (2019) 12

Czech Republic | 2019 | 76 min.

Distance – 2,852 kilometers between Brno and Divějev, between East and West, between father and son. So far. So close. Vít and his son Gríša set out on a long journey to Russia before the end of the holidays. As soon as he gets in the car, his son puts on his headphones and his father dives into his memories. Even so, they cannot escape each other. However, there is one possibility that can bring them closer together – a joint quest. But what are they really looking for?
