This urban odyssey begins with a chance meeting on the streets of Budapest, when the two filmmakers run into Sanyi, a charismatic, unruly 8-year-old who constantly tests boundaries and oscillates between childlike innocence and a sober outlook that belies his age. Over the course of over a decade, the camera captures Sanyi’s growing pains in a cramped, dilapidated apartment with barely functioning parents and a baby sister. Charted by a fiery temperament and an inexplicable attraction to danger, the course of Sanyi’s life seems predetermined as he hurtles toward a dark future. Filmed in the spirit of Cinema Verité, this gripping and gritty doc will have you on the edge of your seat from Sanyi’s first breakneck-speed skateboard ride to his inevitable plummet down the rough roads of adulthood.
