Winter Flies
Two teenagers and one young female hitchhiker in an energetic and suspenseful road movie awarded six Czech Lions and the Best Director Award at the Karlovy Vary Film Festival.
Mischievously self-assured Mára and somewhat eccentric Heduš set out into
the frozen wastes in search of adventure – by car, naturally. After all,
Mára’s turning fifteen soon. A road movie about the flies that occasionally
buzz around even in winter, and a story – before it ends at the police
station – that tells of the elusive bond of boyhood friendship and the
irrepressible desire to experience something, even if you don't exactly know
what.
The film premiered in the Main Competition 53. KVIFF and won its creator Olmo
Omerz the directing award. The Slovenian-born, Czech-based director also won the
Czech Film Critics' Prize. The film went on to dominate the 2018 Czech Lions
Awards with six statuettes.
