El caso Abel Trem

Although the synopsis emphasizes the love story, the film is mostly about the problems of a divided society and how a small mishap goes a long way when it gets political. All this is beautifully embedded in a school-leaving story about love, exams and family relations. The story is very Hungarian, but it can be equally interesting for international audiences, especially for those where political divisions are taking a toll on all parts of society.

The film was made with a very low budget, practically no funding, but the brilliant acting and the captivating story really makes you forget about this fact. Definitely recommended (just as the previous two films of Gábor Reisz).
