Two 17 year old kids, a girl (Lina) and a guy (Leco), from Toronto, who don't know each other well at all, are thrown together in an unusual and awkward situation involving weird relatives in Slovakia. Just kick back, relax and let the comedy of Modra unfold.
But think about it. Have you ever grown up in one place and then returned to the small town home of your grandparents? What if the small town is in a foreign country that your family fled because of war? And you haven't seen your large extended family for years if ever? And you are confused already about your place in the world and identity? With a guy in your class who you don't know very well?
What if they think you are together? What if you don't fit, with him and with them? What if you can't speak the language?
What if your family is pretending they are more perfect than they are? What about the geopolitical conflict that tore your family apart? (As the aunts, sisters, brothers and cousins who stayed behind the Iron Curtain in Slovakia and were out of touch for 25 years. )
What will be the happily ever after? If anything? Modra does not answer this question thank goodness.
It's a good movie.
