The movie

Nobody believes a former police investigator when she says the recent suicides plaguing Budapest could be linked to a serial killer… or worse. An apocalyptic crime thriller.

Who would believe a female cop who is suffering from psychological problems, fighting with financial troubles and raising a rebellious daughter? No one. Even when a serial killer walks the streets of Budapest... After the outrageous musical Liza, The Fox-Fairy (NIFFF 2015), Károly Ujj-Mészáros is back with something completely different. This elevated thriller with multiple twists reflects on the past, present and future of a changing Hungary.
