A pokol élővilága

A psychotic killer is on the prowl, who continues to slaughter young women while an innocent man is wrongly accused and sentenced for crimes he could never have committed. A determined detective arrives on the scene and soon becomes obsessed with the case while under pressure from the prosecutor to see a man hang.

Two relationship dramas run parallel - the issue of having children that ties them together and the issue of having children that tears them apart. Perhaps they have more in common: a fear of commitment, of responsibility, of loneliness, of each other and of themselves. What they have in common is what tears them apart. Their inability to live together, their inability to be honest.

A coming of age story, in flashback, of a group of high school students graduating in 2011. Each will take a different path from here on.

Ten-year-old Palkó has just moved home to Budapest from Berlin and observes the daily life of an ordinary Hungarian elementary school with confused amazement. Juci, the young teacher just started working there. She is the only one who understands Palkó, as in their own way, they are both suffering from the same, sometimes grotesque educational system.

The story takes place in the near future, in the recently collapsed "Eastern Union". There are no law enforcement, everyone acts without consequences. In the middle of this confusion, a mother struggles to protect her baby and despite all the ruthlessness endangering them, she still tries to believe in a more human world.

A young man living abroad visits his hometown to deal with the aftermath of his estranged father's death. The unexpected journey forces him to face feelings and affairs long thought to be lost. A film about the inability to connect, or finding a home.

Escaping post-war Europe, visionary architect László Toth arrives in America to rebuild his life, his work, and his marriage to his wife Erzsébet after being forced apart during wartime by shifting borders and regimes. On his own in a strange new country, László settles in Pennsylvania, where the wealthy and prominent industrialist Harrison Lee Van Buren recognizes his talent for building. But power and legacy come at a heavy cost.
