Escape (1967) 12

Czech Republic | 1967 | 74 min.

Thirteen-year-old Alexander is really in it. It seems that he and his good friend are to blame for the fire of the old shed. But it's not that simple. Alexander knows he was in the shed with his friend and secretly smoked there, but he also knows they put out the stubs. You know how it is. At night, head filled with dark thoughts, he meets a young 20-year-old young man, nicknamed "Fangio" (after the famous racecar driver). He then runs away with him, but he is soon certain that the shed was actually set fire by the mysterious young man, not he and his buddy.
