About the film

The film offers a glimpse into today’s Hungarian child protection system, a day of a child protection specialist, the memories of children who lived through the system – now adults – and the dreams of some children living in state care. This movie is love child. Born of love and pain. It’s authentic because it doesn’t judge. He does not want to drag the viewer into the depths, he moves on the thin line where the message touches him, but emotions do not yet obscure clarity. It is about the child and being a child, about the forgotten tongs and smiles among the ruins. It is about Tamara, about perseverance and continuous renewal amidst the tragedies of everyday life. It speaks of strength, weakness and endless vulnerability. With his intimate pictorial world and his intimate presence, he lifts the veil and gives a brief glimpse of the problems. Sound game, because the text is the main character. A picture poem that tells about a day, moving from reality to the world of dreams. The two support each other and strengthen the other. It touches your childish and parental self. He addresses me and expects answers. From all of us
