Synopsis:
In this refreshing film, Pál Sándor takes the viewer into a girls’ educational institute from the turn of the century. The life of the closed community revolves around strict rules and regularly repeated humiliations, that is, until Emília Odor (Ildikó Szabó) turns up as a new student. Her stubborn, freedom-seeking, rebellious personality thoroughly upsets the well-worn relations. Pál Sándor, director of Régi idők focija/Football of the Good Old Days, Szabadíts meg a gonosztól/Deliver Us from Evil, Ripacsok/Salamon & Stock Show and Szerencsés Dániel/Daniel Takes a Train, once again utilizes his brilliant light touch to sketch out the mood and milieu of a given age, creating heroes with whom it is a pleasure to identify even though they are destined for a tragic fate.Read More »
