Adventures of a Real Samurai in the World of Disasters 2025

Directed by Lidiya Kanashova

Valka cannot keep his balance. He needs crutches to stand and walk, and a bicycle to run. For him, the world is full of perils and mishaps. How can one face life at nine years old, when a wrong step or the slightest push sends you tumbling? To steady himself, Valka has invented a mantra: “I’m a real samurai!” Armed with it, he takes his first independent and courageous steps toward the world.
