Ingrid Veninger's indie film, Modra, is now available on DVD, iTunes and Amazon.ca across Canada.
The film follows a girl from Toronto who decide to travel in order to find out where she comes from.
Lina (Hallie Switzer) is seventeen years old and lives in Toronto with her mother. For one week during the summer holidays she plans to visit her extended family in Modra, a small town in Slovakia. When Lina is dumped by her boyfriend she invites Leco (Alexander Gammal) instead, a cute boy from school.
Not long after arriving in Modra, Lina and Leco discover they have little in common. To make matters worse, Lina's family mistakenly assumes they're a couple, setting off a chain reaction which leads to an explosion of repressed desire and confusion.
Finally, here's the link on iTunes.
