There and Back
Eleven-year-old boy Mitya is struggling with an illness. Once in the hospital, he makes friends with Marina, a rebellious girl who is also older than him, smokes and makes up strange stories that look like lies and truth at the same time. Children run away and go on a journey in search of Crooked Cape - a place where wishes come true. Mitya has to find out what he really wants. Marina - to find a person who will really need her. And the father - to learn about his fears and learn to communicate with his son.
