Wheels

Two bosom friends Martin (13 years old) and Zhenya (14 years old), decide on a "escapade" - to steal wheels from cars, for the sake of earning easy money. But due to lack of experience, the heroes commit a number of missteps that almost lead, perhaps, to the main mistake in their lives.

Director Biography - Dmitry Kondratenko

Dmitry Kondratenko (23 years old).
Director, screenwriter. I study at VGIK (workshop of Andrey Eshpay and Vladimir Fenchenko).

I grew up on the streets of Irkutsk.  Then a music boarding school, where the foundation of character and strength of spirit was laid, then the cadet corps, the army (Semenovsky Regiment) were waiting for me.
I love discipline, order, respect for my teammates. "Die yourself - help out a friend," strictly on mutual assistance.

16.06.2000. I live in Moscow.

My aim is to come and capture a niche of children's, teen and youth cinema.
I want to talk openly and truthfully about friendship and betrayal, about the first teenage love, sometimes painful (for example, to a young teacher in solfeggio), and about the problems that children have to face on the way of growing up.

I infect with enthusiasm and ask to bully colleagues, to find a creative approach in everything - in the image, in text dialogues, on the set.
There aren’t many hooligans in our world.

Further - more, only victory!
