Three Kilometres To The End Of The World - English subtitled
Poignant drama about a boy in rural Romania who has hidden his homosexuality from his parents and returns home one day severely battered. What happened?
In a small Romanian village, Dragoi, a devout family man, owes a sizable debt to local gangster Zentov. When his seventeen-year-old son, Adi, is viciously attacked by Zentov’s sons, Dragoi assumes it’s a warning to settle his dues. However, he uncovers a far more harrowing truth – Adi was not targeted over his father’s debts, but because of his sexual orientation. What begins as a father’s desperate attempt to protect his son soon becomes a battle against a corrupt system determined to silence a case like this.
Three Kilometres To The End Of The World is a gripping drama that exposes the aftermath of a homophobic hate crime and the forces working to bury the truth. The film was selected for the competition at the Cannes Film Festival. (source: www.moviesthatmatter.nl, adapted)
