But the story perhaps is less important than the world which opens up in front of us, a taste of Budapest in January 2008. Written by György Pálfi close

On one hot summer night, the residents of a Hungarian apartment house slated for demolition restlessly revisit their haunted pasts as they face an uncertain future. In a gently turning kaleidoscope of dream imagery, regret-laden nostalgia and painstakingly intimate detail, the looming wrecking ball pales in significance to the accumulated experiences each dreamer revisits. Pre-war prejudice, occupying Nazis and Stalinist deprivations all come and go as each tenant’s backward glance yields moments of aching sensuality, infectious exuberance and catastrophic loss. close

Along the way, the student notices how a woman leaves a package with a child on the porch of the orphanage and leaves. A curious girl takes the child in her arms, and at this time the doors of the shelter open, and a polite nurse invites her to come in. Marie tries to explain that she's here by accident and it's not her baby, but an unfazed doctor registers her as the foundling's mother, claiming that if the baby isn't crying in her arms, then she is his mother. The child stays in the shelter, and by the evening the whole school will know about the child. The Pedagogical Council is indignant and, like the doctors, does not want to hear the explanations of the "little mother" - so begins this magnificent sitcom with a beautiful good ending. close
