Our take
If you’re keen to learn what other new Hungarian talents are out there besides Oscar® winner László Nemes, then you’re in for a treat. Set a year later than Son of Saul, this gorgeous period drama from filmmaker Ferenc Török meditates on guilt, small-town life, and the act of betraying one another.
