Description:

In this poignant and thought-provoking film set in the politically charged atmosphere of late 1970s Hungary, a family's gradual unraveling is portrayed with striking authenticity. As Communism's oppressive grip suffocates society, each member of the family grapples with their own internal struggles and external pressures. The film masterfully illustrates the delicate balance between individual desires and collective obligations in a society where conformity is not merely an expectation but a means for survival.The narrative subtly weaves together themes of political oppression, familial strain, and personal identity as it unravels the complex dynamics at play within this troubled family unit. The cinematography captures the bleakness of the era, while also highlighting moments of raw humanity that serve as a stark reminder of the resilience of the human spirit in the face of adversity. This deeply moving portrayal of a family navigating an oppressive regime offers a nuanced and unflinching look at how one's personal life can be irreversibly impacted by the political forces that shape their world.
