Kilakoltatás

An inexperienced bailiff wants nothing more than to get his first eviction over and done with quickly and efficiently and yet everything goes wrong. Activists have gathered in front of the single-family home in Budapest's 18th district. The elderly lady who is supposed to vacate the house sets a dozen dogs loose. The only policewoman on the ground calls for backup. A special task force soon arrives, the fire brigade is already there, and these are soon followed by a mediator and a veterinarian tasked with anaesthetising the barking canines. Activists call for a sit-in. No one wants to take sole responsibility, everyone involved refers to the “rules and regulations” that have to be followed. In this, director Máté Bence Fazekas’ debut film, what begins as a comedy full of dry humour and ever more absurd situations sees him allow his characters ever more space to evolve, as he tells a tale of misguided career choices, family constraints, impoverishment and a society in which, ultimately, not everyone is happy to remain indifferent and think merely of themselves.
