Avé

Konstantin Bojanov : 2011

Kamen, a young art student, sets out to hitchhike from Sofia to Ruse in order to attend his best friend's funeral. Out on the road waiting for a ride, he encounters a 17-year-old runaway girl named Avé who tells him that she is going to visit her terminally ill grandmother, which he believes. But when they get a lift in the same car, and with each ride they hitch, Avé invents new identities for them, and her compulsive lies get Kamen deeper and deeper into trouble. Reluctantly drawn into this adventure, Kamen begins to fall in love with the fleeting Avé. An intimate portrayal of a coincidental meeting between two opposite personalities who are drawn together on a journey of discovery. A beautifully shot road movie, Konstantin Bojanov's debut feature is the recipient of numerous European festival awards.
