This critically acclaimed film follows the tragic life of an eight-year-old orphan girl. Living under a government that sanctions money to foster parents, she finds herself shuffled from family to family; with each move she encounters increasingly brutal abuse.
Brilliant and extremely disturbing adaptation of Zsigmond Móricz's fact-based novel, a harsh indictment of the Horthy régime (1920-1944), an object of nostalgia for Hungary's current rulers. Little Zsuzsa Czinkóczi's contribution to the movie is beyond description. .
