A Good Mind Grows in Thorny Places
12-year-old Adam, a Romani kid with grown-up responsibilities, lives in the so called Slovakian “hungry valley”, trying to earn cash for energy drinks by chopping trees with his older brother. Adam looks up to his brother for his tree-sawing skills, despite his devotion to a Slovak extremist party.
