What do you do if you’re a Hungarian teenager living just after the fall of the Iron Curtain? Start forging train tickets and travel all across Europe, of course.
Based on real accounts, Pelikan Blue follows three friends (who met while committing bank fraud), as they develop the techniques and tactics needed to build their forgery empire, meet girls, and get into trouble.
Packing a lot into its 80-minute runtime, Hungary’s first animated documentary recounts time and place so vividly that you’ll start to feel nostalgic for somewhere you’ve never been.
