Drama

Szabolcs plays in a German football team, as does Bernard. They are roommates, best friends, inseparable. A lost match makes him reconsider his life and he goes back to Hungary in hope for more simplicity. Yet his solitude does not last long. Soon after his arrival he meets Áron and a mutual attraction between the two boys develops when suddenly Szabolcs receives an unexpected phone call from Bernard: he has arrived to Hungary...

VIBE

A quiet, simmering tension underscores this intimate drama. It feels like a hushed confession, exploring the weight of unspoken desires and the struggle for self-acceptance against a backdrop of stifling tradition. A deeply personal, often somber, experience.
