Synopsis
Peter Gothar films give a sharp, uncensored view of the society. This film is no different. The plot is rather simple: a family goes to vacation with the usual stress. Then on the vacation the wife gets a strange kind of sickness and they go back to Budapest for a cure. While the wife is in the hospital, the husband visits his family. This is quite banal. However the scenario was written by Peter Esterhazy, one of the most influential contemporary writers in Hungary. His style uses a lot of surrealism but in a way that profoundly illuminates the reality. In this film, the reality is an atomized society where the so-called communist ideals are nowhere so everyday people are fully disoriented.

Mood and atmosphere
Experience a haunting yet poignant exploration of existence and disconnection in a modern society that feels both familiar and alien. This film evokes a pervasive sense of loneliness, wrapped in the warmth of familial ties yet permeated by the chill of isolation. The surreal undertones create a dreamlike atmosphere, inviting viewers to ponder the complexities of identity and belonging. As you watch, the film’s striking visuals and minimalist aesthetic resonate with a melancholic beauty, reminiscent of late-night cityscapes and introspective moments. Perfect for those seeking an emotional journey that balances hope and despair, this cinematic piece lingers in the mind, stirring memories of quiet reflection and the search for connection in an increasingly fragmented world.
