FOMO – MEGOSZTOD, ÉS URALKODSZ

At one of the group's many parties Lilla, the daughter of the school history teacher, behaves a little too indecently. More than a little tipsy, she competes for Gergö's attentions and indeed, at the point where she is barely still able to walk, they end up in bed together. Needless to say, this provides the material for the clique's latest video. The following day the footage is online and Lilla has vanished. Subsequently Gergö, the first to fall under suspicion, risks losing more than just his school leaving certificate. Together with his friends he proceeds to search the bars of Budapest, with not only the pressure on his own conscience, but also a sense of anxiety within the group growing in the process: what are they to do should the question of guilt arise? Stick together and keep silent, or ask for forgiveness?

This innovatively captured feature film debut, performed by an amateur cast, initially draws on a YouTube aesthetic before evolving gradually into a delicate psychological drama in what is an ambivalent take on a subject matter of great topicality, regarded simultaneously with analytical distance and emotional proximity.
