Drama

In an impressive follow up to his debut film Forest, Benedek Fliegauf tells the uncompromising story of a day in the life of a drug dealer. His clients include the leader of a religious sect, a friend who needs a final fix, a former lover who has had his child, a student, and a black marketeer. Fliegauf's film recreates life in a city that resembles a ghost town, an alienated world with its own priorities and realities. It is, he says '. an imaginary city with a strongly spiritualist atmosphere. This necropolis is the film's real protagonist'.

VIBE

A stark, unflinching look at a day in the life of a dealer. It's a bleak, detached experience, immersing you in a desolate urban landscape where spiritual emptiness reigns. The film feels like a ghost town, profoundly isolating and devoid of hope.
