Péter (Tamás Polgár) is just out of prison and is unenamoured with life on the outside. When he witnesses a woman secretly giving birth on the floor of a laundrette, it sets in motion a tricky emotional triangle composed of himself, the child’s mother Maja (Tóth Orsi) and his sister Marika (Kata Wéber), with whom he seems incestuously close. Mundruczo creates a world full of discomfiting mystery, sexual frustration, quiet desperation and sudden, unexpected stabs of compassion and redemption. The director enjoyed a major hit recently at the 2005 Cannes Film Festival with his modern opera film JOHANNA; this is a chance to see an early vision from a director destined for great things. |
