Tricks

Six-year-old Stefek challenges Providence. He believes that provoking a chain of small events will bring him closer to his father, who left his mother for another woman. Stefek’s sister, seventeen-year-old Elka, teaches him how to bribe fate with small offerings. But at the decisive moment, the children have nothing to sacrifice. In his game with destiny, Stefek decides to raise the stakes dangerously high.
