Logline

A scathing and complex portrayal of Hungary’s polarized society.

Abel should really be studying for his final exam. Instead, he can only think of Janka, whom he’s infatuated with. She, in turn, only has eyes for the history teacher who is giving Abel’s exam. This ends in a complete disaster and even becomes a nationwide scandal. Does Abel’s teacher fail him because of his attitude?
