There's no such thing as a free ride.

ThrillerComedyCrime

A tale about a strange young man, Bulcsú, and the fellow ticket inspectors on his team who work aboard the subterranean Budapest Metro. A tale about racing along the tracks, and about a mysterious serial killer. And a tale about love.

VIBE

A surreal and unsettling descent into the Budapest subway, where existential dread and dark humor collide. This film's gritty, claustrophobic atmosphere and absurdist chase sequences create a uniquely disorienting and unforgettable ride.
