TThe topic of this year’s traditional Visegrád 4 film festival was the family. Hungary was represented by the internationally acclaimed family drama Aurora Borealis by Márta Mészáros, the proud winner of the Grand Prix in Cannes and the Golden Bear award in Berlin. The story unfolds simultaneously during two different periods of time, in the modern day and during the 1950s, when Hungary was under Soviet occupation. Olga (Ildikó Tóth), a successful lawyer living in Vienna travels to Hungary to take care of her mother Mária (Mari Törőcsik), who unexpectedly falls into a coma. While her mother drifts between life and death, Olga uncovers a deep family secret that brings back painful memories of love, death, oppression and secrecy. The film was shown to a full house audience in the Cinema Zita and met with success.
