Because of the film's topic, the Hungarian Government didn't grant funding for the movie so it had a small budget and crew
Tale
Abel is a high school student struggling to focus on his final exams, while being hopelessly in love with his best friend Janka..
Most of the actors playing in it are the writer-director, Gábor Reisz's friends, students or teachers
Although the synopsis emphasizes the love story, the film is mostly about the problems of a divided society and how a small mishap goes a long way when it gets political.
All this is beautifully embedded in a school-leaving story about love, exams and family relations
The story is very Hungarian, but it can be equally interesting for international audiences, especially for those where political divisions are taking a toll on all parts of society.The film was made with a very low budget, practically no funding, but the brilliant acting and the captivating story really makes you forget about this fact.
