CARAVAN (Czech Rep / Slovakia / Italy) 100’
However much you love your offspring being the full time carer for a disabled teenage son is emotionally and physically gruelling, especially when your much needed solo holiday plans go awry.
This is the case for a Czech single mother Anna Geislerova from The Noonday Witch) who finds herself stranded with a cheeky but lovable adolescent in a lovely villa in the middle of Italy where David promptly wreaks havoc on the white sofas
First time director Zuzana Kirchnerova relies on a dreamy atmosphere and some gorgeous visuals in this limpid laid-back summer coming of age drama that certainly has its moments of high tension when the boy plays up.
A friendship develops with another Czech woman and Caravan turns into an eventful freewheeling road movie as the two try some holiday work to earn a few Bob working on the land and attract some attention from the local males and David turns into a man. @Meredith TaylorÂ
