Ungarn, Kroatien, Frankreich 2024 – Director: Bálint Révész, Dávid Mikulán – Original version with English subtitles – Length: 90 min.
“It might look like we’re just playing. But this is no game, it is dead serious.” Nobody suspects how much truth lies in Sanyi’s statement when Dávid Mikulán embarks on 10 years of filming the young man. From his cramped flat, where his whole family shares a bedroom and there is no room to breathe, Sanyi escapes to the streets of Budapest with his friends. Katharina Dolles
