Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Released during Hungary's hard right turn, the film's marginalized women and absent fathers mirrored national anxieties about abandonment—economic and emotional.
The gas station was a functioning location; crew had to pause for actual customers mid-shoot, blending reality into the film's documentary-like texture.
