İclal Dikici & Maria Brzozowska
A courageous, metaphoric story about freedom and liberties.
Atila and Defne meet for the first time when a giant traffic jam causes cars to pile up on top of each other. As a result of the accident, a huge hill of cars is formed. Its residents call it Autoville and elect a president—who soon turns the car town into a totalitarian state. Meanwhile, the two kids dream of finding a way back to nature.
