“The director of Son of Saul, László Nemes, returns with a new historical drama. He masterfully employs a child’s perspective to show that personal family trauma is inseparable from major historical upheavals. The boy’s gaze becomes the purest judge, assessing not politics, but humanity. The film reminds us that history is written not only in textbooks, but also in the scars parents leave on their children.” (Programme curator Karolis Žukas)
