Pelikan Blue

After the fall of the Iron Curtain, the world is changing at lightning speed - and not everyone is watching from the sidelines. In the unique animated documentary Pelikan Blue, Hungarian director László Csáki tells the almost unbelievable but true story of a group of young friends who set up an illegal network to smuggle Western luxury goods - such as jeans, trainers and music - to the Balkans in the early 1990s.

What begins as an adventure soon becomes a story about friendship, seduction, greed and the price of freedom. Csáki combines interviews with former smugglers with hand-drawn animation, bringing the past to life in a lively, playful and sometimes melancholic way.

Prior to the film, the short film Cake Competition by APPi will be shown.
