Three Kilometres to the End of the World

2024 · 105 min

A quietly devastating watch, suffocating in its slow reveal of prejudice and family fracture.

Overview
Adi, a gay teenager, is spending the summer in his home village in the Danube Delta. One night he is brutally attacked on the street, the next day his world is turned upside-down. His parents no longer look at him as they did, and the seeming tranquility of the village starts to crack.
