Barnabás Tóth : 2019
Akik maradtak
Hungary after World War II. A 42-year-old man and a 16-year-old girl meet in a city struggling with the ravages and destitution of war. It is 1948, gynecologist Aladár Körner examines Klára, a young girl who is about to turn sixteen and has just entered puberty, which worries her aunt Olga, who lives with her. The doctor, a single man who divides his time between the hospital and the orphanage, soon grows attached to this eccentric and difficult teenager. Taking her under his wing and establishing a relationship complicated by Klára's desperate longing for love, Aladár becomes a mentor and appeases the nightmares and anxieties of the young woman whose parents disappeared during the war. Since the doctor's wife and children died in the death camps which Aladár survived, these two lonely souls support each other. As they grow closer, the joy in both of their lives slowly returns. But as the Soviet Empire rises to power in Hungary, their pure and loving father-daughter relationship is misunderstood and considered undesirable. Barnabás Tóth's second feature premiered at Telluride Film Festival 2019, and screened in the World Cinema section at Busan International Film Festival 2019.
