Kiddo by Zara Dwinger
Kiddo is directed by Zara Dwinger and produced by Studio Ruba. Sales are handled by SKOOP Media. In Kiddo, Eleven-year-old Lu is living in a foster home when her long-lost mother Karina shows up unexpectedly and takes her on a wild road trip in a beat-up sports car - all the way to her grandma in Poland. Lu soon finds out it's all or nothing with Karina when she gets pulled into a Bonnie and Clyde-like fantasy. But reality quickly catches up, forcing them to decide what they're willing to do to stay together forever. Kiddo opens Cinema Jove on June 22nd, 20:00 in Palau de les Arts.
Besides Berinale Generation Kplus, the film was selected for Cannes Écrans Juniors and Zlín Film Festival for Children and Youth. Kiddo is supported by the Netherlands Film Fund and Film Production Incentive.
