Sanyi is a wild and energetic eight-year-old boy who races around the streets of Budapest on his skateboard. The city is his playground, a haven of chaos far away from his family’s cramped one-room apartment.
Over the course of 12 years, ‘KIX’ documents how an innocent eight-year-old boy grows up to become a persecuted enemy of the state.
With films like ‘Streetwise’ and ‘Kids’ as its predecessors, ‘KIX’ is a sensation of a film that combines a complete unruly wildness with a genuine social commitment – even when the story takes a tragic twist.
