Crossing Europe

Mo Papa

1 hr. 28 min. | Drama | Pegi 13

28 year old Eugen is released from prison after serving ten years for causing his younger brother’s accidental death, a tragic act driven by his own unresolved trauma from being abandoned by his parents. Now, left with only his estranged father and childhood friends from the orphanage, Stina and Riko, Eugen hopes for reconciliation. But the scars of abandonment pull him back into destructive patterns. In this raw, unscripted drama, life unfolds as the characters confront the unpredictable consequences of their actions, struggling to bridge the gap between longing and the love they cannot share.
