So, 'We Were Just Playing' is an intriguing drama that digs into the lives of two boys, Jona and Miro. Jona is uprooted from his Berlin home and dropped into this unfamiliar setting at the German-Czech border. It's a tough adjustment for him, and you can feel the loneliness and anger radiating off him. Miro, being a bit older, has a different perspective, and their friendship unfolds with a mix of innocence and complexity. The film has a raw, almost documentary-like feel, with a pacing that mirrors a summer in transition—slow and reflective. The performances are quite natural, capturing the awkwardness and depth of youth. It's a film that plays with themes of alienation and connection, making it a distinct watch in the landscape of coming-of-age stories.
