Evolution

Acclaimed filmmaking team Kornél Mundruczó and Kata Wéber (Pieces of a Woman) present a powerful drama tracing three generations of a Jewish family - told in three parts - unable to process their past in a society still coping with the wounds of its history. In the first, a baby is discovered by three men cleaning a shower block. In the second, the child, Éva, is a resentful elderly woman living in Budapest, sparring with her daughter Léna over questions of identity. In the third, Léna’s son Jonas is mocked for his ethnicity. Like the water that connects the episodes in this triptych, memory and identity are fluid.
