Our take
Part of Tales from Kars, a collaborative omnibus shot in the Turkish province, director Özcan Alper’s rich and vibrant short catches the blossoming of young love on a boy’s epic journey to school. Despite its bleak and snowy setting, Moto Guzzi suffuses the viewer with the warmest of feelings.
