Riddle of Fire (2023)

Three mischievous children embark on a woodland odyssey when their mother sends them on an errand. (Note: this description does not capture the weirdness that ensues.)
Four child actors lead this original film that portrays effectively how children experience the world. Delightfully weird and unencumbered by concepts like "good acting" (although Phoebe Ferro as Alice in particular does have screen magic). Has a loose plot that follows the children's adventures racing dirt bikes (the motorcycle variety), and trying to complete a fairy tail-esque quest, with a surprising amount of gun-related menace (though only Chekhov's paintball guns get fired). This movie was a for me random and happy discovery on a recent international flight.
