Our guests at the screening will be director Judit Elek and cinematographer Elemér Ragályi.
An elderly lady decides she wants to exchange her two-room flat for something smaller. The storm of people interested rattles her solitary life with short-lived acquaintances connecting her with strangers for just a brief moment. Judit Elek’s first feature film is a sensitive portrait of loneliness and human relations painted through unusual everyday scenes and delicately grotesque humour. Several scenes in the film were shot in documentary style with random people walking down the street. Lead actress Manyi Kiss gives a most touching performance.
