PROGRAMME 02 JAN

Hozzád? / Your Place? by Benedek Vida
Hungary
Short
No one knows, including her parents, that Zoe (23) lives in her car. It doesn’t bother her too much, she tries to see the good in her situation. Since she’s from the countryside, she’s drawn to nature, especially at night. She feels safe in the dark, among the trees, far away from the noises of the city. She might come across as harsh sometimes - it’s her way to protect herself and her precious secrets. However, she’s a deeply feeling person, especially with those in need of empathy. She often feels alone but struggles to initiate and open up. One day, a chap called Gabor (25) comes into the coffeeshop where Zoe works and after some chatting, they get really curious about one another. They decide to get dinner together. The date goes well but when things seem to be getting a bit serious both of them back up for made-up reasons. Zoe then rather mysteriously comes up with the idea to go to someplace she knows, asking Gabor to take her with his car. When they finally arrive, there is a sudden conflict that sheds light on Gabor’s secret, finally making it clear to both of them that they might be more similar than they thought.
A lot of people are “temporarily homeless” in Hungary. The biggest problem, however, is that Hungarians don’t talk about their problems honestly. Should that happen, they could make their lives a lot easier as well as be closer to each other.
