Orphan

A year after a brutally suppressed uprising against the communist regime, the world of a young Jewish boy named Andor is turned upside down. While a battered Hungary prepares for lavish May Day celebrations, a man claiming to be Andor’s biological father enters his life. László Nemes, an uncompromising cinematic talent and Oscar winner for *Son of Saul*, returns with a chilling study of the disintegration of a family and an entire society. This gripping historical film thus becomes a terrifying metaphor for the loss of freedom amid the turmoil of Eastern European history.
