2 Birds
Rúnar Rúnarsson 2008
SYNOPSIS
2 Birds takes place during one bright summer night and follows a group of young teenagers on a journey from innocence to adulthood. The main character is a timid boy who has a typical schoolboy crush on a girl his age, who happens to be a friend of his mate.
Directors statement for 2 Birds: People at crossroads in their live interests me. The questions they are confronted with , in balance with the choices they have. I wanted to make a film about adolescents and love , a boy becoming a man.
