🎞️ Closing Film: Pelikan Blue (2024)
We wrap up the evening with a screening of László Csáki’s award winning Pelikan Blue. The film follows three young Hungarians, who decide to travel to the West with fake train tickets. What starts as a fun idea turns quickly into a lucrative black-market job model. Soon the authorities are on their tracks.
The event runs for 2 hours and 30 minutes.
