The Orphan

Original title: Árva

  • Genre: Drama · History
  • Country: Hungary
  • Runtime: 132 min

A year after a brutally suppressed uprising against the communist regime, the world of young Jewish boy Andor turns upside down. While beaten Hungary prepares for the ostentatious celebrations of May First, a man claiming to be his real father enters Andor's life. László Nemes, an uncompromising filmmaking talent and Oscar winner for the film, returns with a chilling study of the disintegration of one family and entire society. A gripping historical film thus becomes a terrifying metaphor for the loss of freedom in the machinery of Central European history.
