The ELTE– NFI FILMIO University Film Club screening and discussion series continues. We welcome university members from all ELTE faculties.
The documentary shows the first year and a half of recovery for two young people with substance abuse issues. We get to know them through the activities of the Megálló Group Foundation in Budapest. The Megálló Group Foundation’s recreation center for people with addictions is run by former addicts who use innovative methods such as rock climbing for therapeutic purposes. Szilveszter and Boróka embark on the rocky road of self-discovery, confronting their stormy relationships with their parents while seeking support, forgiveness, and above all, self-acceptance. The film had its world premiere at the 40th Warsaw International Film Festival in 2024, where the jury gave special recognition to the film’s human approach and deep empathy. In Hungary, it was first screened at the Verzio International Human Rights Documentary Film Festival, then released in theaters on 5 December 2024.
