On Thin Ice
Temporarily homeless Jarna is in the deepest trouble of his life. Debtors have come to collect old drug debts and Jarna is given 24 hours to pay up, setting off a frantic, amphetamine fueled battle against time. Manic speed, fear of killers on his tail, paranoia and self-loathing over old wrongs eventually lead to a traffic accident. Jarna can no longer escape, his pace slows and he is on the verge of giving up. The moment has come when a near-lifetime of running must come to an end.

🎬 MovieFinder's Take
The film constructs its narrative on the contrast between frantic, chemically-fueled motion and forced stillness, exploring the state of a man cornered by his own past. It relies on subjective camerawork and a swelling soundscape to immerse the viewer in a whirlwind of panic and despair.
What lingers after the final frame is the raw, unsettling aftertaste of witnessing a hitting rock bottom. The film offers no easy escapes, only the stark confrontation with consequences. — MovieFinder Editorial
