Kornél Mundruczó : 2014
Fehér isten
A cautionary tale between a superior species and its disgraced inferior, tracing the misadventures of a girl and her best friend, a dog, in a world of winners and losers. Favouring pedigree dogs, a new regulation puts a severe tax on mixed breeds. Owners dump their dogs and shelters become overcrowded. 13-year-old Lili fights desperately to protect her pet Hagen, but her father eventually sets the dog free on the streets. Hagen and Lili search desperately for each other, whilst homeless Hagen, struggling to survive, realises that not everyone is a dog's best friend. In a world in which pedigree is a decisive factor, genuine affection can occasionally come out on top and rebel against an unjust fate. The film defends hope for peace and the belief that the eternal war between higher and lower beings will one day be brought to an end. Kornél Mundruczó's sixth feature was winner of the Prix Un Certain Regard when it premiered at Festival de Cannes 2014.
