KÉK PELIKAN

Pelikan Blue is no a piece of music with spelling mistakes; instead, it’s the carbon paper that was once used to make a copy of the ticket you received as a traveller. It's very simple: if you remove the writing from the ticket, you can enter the details of your dream trip. Then all you have to do is stamp it and put it in the right envelope. Shortly after the fall of the Iron Curtain, three young idlers from Hungary hit on the right formula, a mixture of Domestos and other cleaning products, which allows them to forge the tickets for their dream trip across Europe. And later another one for a good friend, and another friend, and then again for the first friend's girlfriend; before long it has evolved into a real business. And yet the police are already on their trail. A suspense-packed work featuring a dark, sometimes laconic, humour, this animated film tells a tale of three friends and a society in transition.
