Všechno bude

a film by Olmo Omerzu

Ain’t road movies brilliant? Except they don’t tend to end well, do they. I mean, the good ones, like Easy Rider, Thelma & Louise, or Y tu mamá también. So I was a bit apprehensive about Winter Flies.

Mind you, pretty early we learn that this one is not gonna end well either. Most of the story is told in flashback when Mára, one of teenage protagonists, is already arrested. But wait. There’s a twist and a hope and enough humour to make your day or, as it happened, my evening. By the way, the original title has nothing to do with winter flies; it means “Everything will be”, as in “Everything will be OK”.
