FROM ABOVE

Nándor Lőrincz, Bálint Nagy
Hungary, 2019, 15 Min

Class struggle on the collection day for bulky refuse. A young Roma woman is wanting to defend a parking lot and is then hit by a car driven by a young man from the middle class. The dispute escalates and exposes racism against the Roma. 

Once a year, the Budapesters can simply throw their bulky refuse out onto the streets. The poorer inhabitants of the city, in particular, are the ones who then secure the best pieces for resale. That's what a young Roma family is also doing. But then the accident happens, and the Roma woman's relatives force the young family man to give her first aid in his flat. Two social and cultural worlds collide “up there”. Formally captivating and filmed in just one shot, FROM ABOVE addresses the latent and open anti-Ziganism in Hungary as well as the increasing aggression within contemporary Hungarian society. JT
