Comedy, Drama

An old homeless man who has taken refuge in an empty building for some time is asked to vacate by the authorities, as the space will be converted into a brand-new luxury hotel. Orsolya, the bailiff in charge, becomes overwhelmed with guilt after something devastating happens and finds every opportunity to unload her concerns with her mother, close friend, an ex-student, etc. Through these conversations we begin to understand that our world operates by default on injustice, oppression and violence, rather than equity, compassion and empathy. We see the dog-eat-dog world of unchecked capitalism: an example of a remarkably intelligent artist creating a significant thought-provoking work. With thanks to Sovereign Films for this early preview of this title.
