Three Kilometres to the End of the World Trei kilometri până la capătul lumii

Synopsis

Seventeen-year old dreamer Adi feels out of place in his conservative home village in the Danube Delta. When he returns home one night badly beaten, his protective parents pursue the culprits — but justice quickly fades from view when they learn that Adi was brutalized because he was seen kissing another man. Rattled by this revelation, his parents try to reconcile their love for their son with their religious beliefs, resorting to extreme measures to protect Adi from the threat they perceive to be the most dire: himself. And as whispers spread throughout the community and moral panic sets in, the seeming tranquility of the village begins to crack.

Shot in stunning widescreen that relishes in the landscape of this beautiful, yet claustrophobic river delta village, Three Kilometers captures a community where tradition and faith tearing at one young man’s individualism threatens to push them over the edge of the world.
