The White King

The film is based on György Dragomán's multiple award winning novel, but the story has been transposed to fictitious near-future dictatorship. Dragomán said this about the film: "In my original novel I wanted to show freedom in a society where freedom should not exist. In their movie Alex and Jörg were brave enough to take my communist childhood tale and adapt it into a modern story, showing us that the threat to freedom is as eternal as our fight for it."

In a close-up shot of Djata as he watches a time-lapse video of a city skyline, viewers see reflections of two lights in his eyes that don't match with reflections that would actually be seen from the video he's watching. In a closer shot a few seconds later viewers do see reflections of the video in his eyes.
