HOW I LEARNED TO FLY Serbia-Croatia-Bulgaria-Slovakia, 2022, 85′, color, feature

A seemingly boring vacation with two old ladies turns into a life changing experience for 12 year old Sofia as she has her first kiss, reunites with estranged family and faces mortality on an idyllic island in the Mediterranean.

 

„I wanted to tell young people not to rush to grow up . At the turning points of your life - at the age of 12 or 13, you usually want to be 15 or 16. That's stupid. I try to tell children to use those 12 years, because they are just as phenomenal as 16. It is stupid to rush to grow up, because you are losing what is happening to you at that moment.”
