Orphan is a raw coming-of-age film by Hungarian Oscar winner László Nemes (Son of Saul, Sunset). Once again, we are drawn into a harrowing story set amid the turmoil of the twentieth century in the heart of Europe.
The Jewish boy Andor (Bojtorján Barabás) grows up in Budapest in 1957, in the shadow of the Hungarian Revolution, together with his stoic mother Klára (Andrea Waskovics). She has raised him with an idealized image of his father Hirsch, and for eleven years he has been waiting for a man he barely knew. Andor’s life is turned upside down by the arrival of Berend Mihály (Grégory Gadebois), a rough man from the countryside. He appears to be connected to Klára’s mysterious past during the Second World War and claims to be his father.
