    2021-2030DramaEmanuel ParvuRomania

    Adi has finished school and, back home, in his idyllic yet isolated village in the Danube Delta, he’s making the most of the holidays before he chooses which university to attend. When he is brutally beaten on his way back from the pub one evening, the affinity he felt towards his home is fundamentally altered… Three Kilometres to the End of the World is a story of tunnel vision, homophobia, and the impact of outdated rural traditions on something as pure as parental love.
