MODRA
|
Lina is 17 years old, lives in Toronto with her mother, and has just been dumped by her boyfriend who was to travel with her, the very next day, to Modra, the Slovakian town where Lina has extended family. Suddenly feeling single, Lina invites Leco, a cute boy from school, to join her on the trip.
Arriving in Modra, Lina’s relatives mistakenly assume that a romance is afoot, setting off a chain reaction that leads to an explosion of repressed desire and confusion.
Modra is a journey in time when adulthood has not yet arrived, but childhood seems to have already long vanished.
