Vajt
A story about Daniel "Vajt" Bele, Zagreb's legend and one of the best and most daring skaters in the region.
This film tells the turbulent life story of the skateboarder Daniel "Vajt" Bele, who started skating in the late 80’s when that aspect of urban culture was illegal and unknown. Vajt has since become an urban legend as one of the best and most daring skaters in the region. At the same time he is a man who has survived heroin addiction, life on the streets and a rehab commune. Today, Vajt is back in action: he is skating again, pursuing acting career and has even written a novel. He lives in Zagreb and works in an IT company.
