In 1957 In Budapest, after the uprising against the Communist regime, a young Jewish boy, Andor – raised by his mother on idealized tales of his deceased father – has his world turned upside down when a brutish man appears, claiming to be his true father.
Orphan, one of the most talked-about films of the fall festivals, comes to Haifa following its premieres in Venice and Toronto. Academy Award-winning filmmaker László Nemes – inspired by his father's childhood memories – presents a striking coming-of-age drama about a teenage boy struggling to navigate a changing world, and a beautiful portrait of survival against all odds.
Filmography: Sunset (2018), Son of Saul (2015).
