Riddle of Fire

Audiences at Cannes Directors' Fortnight were enthralled by Weston Razooli’s assured and utterly bewitching debut, an offbeat children’s adventure that weaves elements of fantasy and video gaming into a magical odyssey through the backwoods of rural Wyoming. A trio of tearaway youngsters, riding dirt bikes and wielding paintball guns, go in search of a carton of eggs in order to bake a blueberry pie for one of their ailing mothers. This seemingly mundane task transforms into a mythical quest, as they become entangled with a dangerous gang of outlaws and a mysterious girl wielding magical powers.
