THE MYSTERY OF THE MALAKKA MOUNTAIN
TAJEMNICA GÓRY MALAKKA

Logline
Six-year-old Junior is an emotionally mature child. In a puff of cigarette smoke, he ponders about life, people and their dilemmas. When his father, a famous pilot, crashes in China in mysterious circumstances, Junior sets off on a journey to find out exactly what happened. Inspired by the paintings of Fernando Botero, the drama takes the convention of magical realism, with a crime story in the background.
