| Adrienn Pál |
Adrienn Pál, a Hungarian-Dutch-Austrian-French coproduction, is about an alienated nurse surrounded by death who sets out to find a long-lost childhood friend.
?While tracing her recollections, she embarks on a paradox-filled voyage within her own memory and the memory of those she encounters. Her searches do not take her where she wanted to go, still her life will never be the same as a result. Adrienn Pál is a film about the relativity of memory, the uncertainty of the past, and above all our self-discovery,? the Hungarian Film Union says on its website.
