Bálint Bagossy

Balint is 18. He crushes on a girl, and then the next one, and the one after. In the rapidly passing Hungarian summer, the impermanence of his desires fills him with despair. When his heart becomes divided between a mysterious girl living in the forest, and a melancholic virgin, he decides he will have two first loves, not just one.

In 2020 the Hungarian government announced the change of ownership at nine state universities in order to make them maintained by foundations. The so-called “restructuring” comprised the imposition of a board of trustees over the universities, the members of which being loyal supporters of the government holding stable positions in its economic halo. Only one of the nine institutions protested against the forced political takeover of the University of Theatre and Film Arts (SZFE). Our film presents one of the stories of the university blockade.
