The Girl
Directed by Márta Mészáros
Produced by Mafilm
A contemplative, character-driven study of a working-class orphan's journey to reconnect with her mother, exploring themes of belonging, identity, and the constraints of rural and institutional life.
On receiving a letter from her mother, a quiet working-class girl leaves the state orphanage in Budapest where she grew up and takes a trip to the rural countryside to visit her.
