Adrienn Pál

Hungarian writer and director Ágnes Kocsis takes an stylized approach to a bleak story. The story of a lonely and obese nurse who works at a terminal ward in a hospital none-the-less. Her mundane and bleak existence gets a jolt when she receives a patient with the same name of her childhood and best friend. She starts to search for her while evaluating her own existence of who she was and what she has become. Kocsis touches some interesting issues, specially the childhood perception and the reality of adulthood that also serves as a metaphor for her country or any of the country in the region that went through a similar transformation in their recent past.
