About the film

Fainting kids and endless speeches at the ceremonial school opening. The distinctive smell of creamed vegetables and bleachy mop water in the cafeteria. Ten-year-old Palkó (Paul Mátis), recently returned from Berlin, observes the everyday life of an average Hungarian school with wonder. The only person who truly understands him is Juci néni (Anna Mészöly), a young, novice teacher who is also struggling as a victim of the institution’s outdated, bureaucratic system rooted in a janitor-culture mindset.
