Red Light

Na Cherveno

58th TIFF: Greek Premiere

In a small village, a bus stops at the only intersection, where the traffic light is stuck on red. The bus driver refuses to move forward, which provokes a conflict with the passengers and the local law enforcement. A story about the funny side of apathy, selfishness, and loneliness in a world where following the rules is a misunderstanding.
