Two boys from different worlds. Of all possible times, the start of summer vacation is when 10-year-old Jona has to move away from Berlin to the German-Czech border with his mother and new stepfather. He's lonely and angry as he inspects his new surroundings. Across the border, he meets Miro, a 13-year-old Ukrainian boy. Jona is fascinated by the confident but taciturn boy, only slowly discovering the fate that's hidden behind Miro's grown-up façade. (Filmfest München)

English A raw and pure drama set against a dark backdrop with a lonely boy and poverty-stricken kids that are bought and sold, leaving more and more wounds on them. Very low-key, but fascinating, no chance for boredom. Highly recommended. It’s a movie that leaves you with lots to mull over in your head afterward too, and that’s just how I like them. ()
