GROUND FLOOR
[FÖLDSZINT]
A well-intentioned yet deadened office drone, Kristóf (Ádám Tompa, BLUE HERON) is distracted, rushing to get ready for his long-awaited summer vacation with his wife, Vera (Bettina Jósza). But when he drops his phone in the closet, he discovers a patch of black mold behind the wall, sending him into a full tailspin. When Vera announces she is pregnant, it only fans the fire of his fury as he sets off to discover the source of the mold. Convinced there is a leak somewhere in the building, he starts frantically knocking on his neighbors’ doors, uncovering a vast conspiracy of apathy. Filmmaker Gábor Reisz (AN EXPLANATION FOR EVERYTHING) brings his trademark wit and eye for dark comedy to this absurdist, Kafkaesque satire, another whip-smart inquiry into contemporary Hungarian society. –Josh Gardner
