Carbide

Antonio and Nikola are inseparable friends who live across the road from each other and share a love for pyrotechnics and mobile phones. They have fun letting carbide explode while filming this, hoping to score millions of views on YouTube. Their families have been in dispute for years over a seemingly unresolvable problem: Water supply. The boys’ friendship, as they are about to enter puberty, is put to the test at Christmas time when their families uncover dangerous secrets and interests. "The various insights into Croatian society, torn between traditions and modernity are woven into the script masterfully." (cineuropa)
