Draniki
5.8
Max, an ordinary schoolboy with somewhat unusual parents, finds himself in a village for winter break, against his will. In the village, he encounters a dish that's familiar to the locals but new to him - potato pancakes. The boys, along with their cousin, decide to start a business: they convert an old UAZ into a food truck and sell potato pancakes. But how can you tackle adult problems when you're still a child yourself?
