A Colourful Dream (2020) 12

Czech Republic | 2020 | 74 min.

A humourous adventure story dealing with the timeless theme of the conflict between unlimited power and the desire for freedom, bravery, and love. A group of street performers arrives on an island, where there is an omnipotent ruler and strict police order. A botched cannon shot during their performance triggers a number of unexpected events. Outnumbered, the young man Drin, girl Tuvi, and seagull Natan must battle against a totalitarian power. The duel will ultimately change the fates of all the inhabitants of the Island – humans and seagulls.
