Opening remarks by writer Gábor T. Szántó

Gábor T. Szántó is a Hungarian-Jewish author and the editor-in-chief of Jewish culture and politics magazine Szombat.

1945
Hungary 2017 | 91 minutes | Hungarian | Hebrew, English subtitles

A Hungarian village in August 1945. The festive ambiance of the clerk’s daughter’s wedding is tainted when two Orthodox Jews arrive carrying a mysterious trunk. Authentic period reconstruction, reserved dialogues, resonating soundtrack, and poetic black-and-white cinematography combine to effectively build tension, rendering a touching and powerful film.
