The Stop
It is the worst day of Mario’s life. While he is driving home from work after several sleepless hours, his wife goes into labour, and his boss orders him to turn around and head straight to his next job. Held up by a flat tyre in a remote roadside car park, Mario becomes the prime suspect in the disappearance of a small boy. Meanwhile, Poland are playing Brazil in the World Cup final.
The film is the director’s full-length debut.
