TREI KILOMETRI PANA LA CAPATUL LUMII
RO 2024 / Director: Emanuel Pârvu

On Saturday at 5:15 pm and 8:15 pm!

A homophobic attack tears apart a family and a community in a Romanian village: Emanuel Pârvu's coming-of-age drama paints an oppressive portrait of his homeland.
A small village in the Romanian part of the Danube Delta, where the coasts shine in the sun and the reeds dance in the wind. Adi is 17 and is spending his last summer at home. He wants to move to Bucharest in the fall and start studying there. But when he becomes the victim of a brutal homophobic attack one night, everything suddenly changes. His parents, who were previously unaware that their son was gay, take Adi's cell phone, lock him in his room and try to exorcise his "sin" with the help of the village priest. Meanwhile, the violent crime is covered up with the active support of the local police. In order to save himself, Adi has to make a tough decision - and rely on the help of his best friend.

In this intense coming-of-age thriller, a teenager must overcome the resistance of family, church and state authorities to finally be able to live freely. Director Emmanuel Pârvu not only exposes the homophobia that is still widespread in Romania, but also state corruption and religious fanaticism, whose corrosive power seems at odds with the breathtakingly beautiful nature of the Danube delta. A razor-sharp drama and a stirring film experience that was awarded the Queer Palm in Cannes.

Coming-of-age drama, language: Romanian / subtitles: DE, 105 min., rated 12+.
