Hey Viktor!

Canada

By Cody Lightning

"Hey Viktor!" is the story of once-famous child actor Cody Lightning, best known as Little Viktor from 1998 cult classic "Smoke Signals". Twenty years removed from childhood fame, Cody Lightning has been forced to move home to his reserve in northern Alberta. He still believes himself to be famous, even though the only parts he gets these days are porn and fracking commercials. But when Cody learns his wife and kids are leaving him for a younger, more successful actor, he decides it's time to quit fucking around and make his masterpiece: writing, directing and starring in "Smoke Signals 2: Still Smoking". A documentary crew follows Cody on his journey around the Indigenous world, re-uniting the original cast, borrowing money from arms dealers and realizing his vision... just in time to realize his vision was shit.
