Všechno bude
A rebellious teenager and his dorky, BB-gun-toting sidekick run away through the Czech countryside in a stolen Audi. Along the way, they pick up a dog and a pretty female hitchhiker as they try to elude the police. An interrogation of tall tales is contrasted against awkwardness, innocence and adulthood. This coming-of-age road movie tells a story of adolescent friendship and the irrepressible desire to experience something even if one doesn’t know exactly what that something is – a sense of unbridled freedom. The film received the Best Director award at the Karlovy Vary International Film Festival.
DCP, color, in Czech with English subtitles, 85 min. Director: Olmo Omerzu. Screenwriter: Petr Pýcha. Cast: Tomáš Mrvík, Jan František Uher, Eliška Křenková.
