The Idiot (2026)
The film IDIOT is a story of two completely different young men. Rene and Emil are brought together by their desire to get something from each other's world. As if without making any promises, they suddenly find themselves in situations where it seems that the only way out is to escape. Emil, who seems to have been given everything in life, continues to disappoint his father and overcomes all the limits of suffering. Now he is faced with a life where he has to take responsibility for everything himself. He meets Rene, from whom Emil decides that he wants to learn a lot. Rene, however, tries to keep him away from mistakes that he can no longer fix himself, but he cannot remain confident enough. Everything starts to develop too quickly and, despite Rene's warnings, Emil ends up turning the situation against both of them. They still have to work together to find a solution. Fear has overcome the boys.
