A. Visky, Gabor Tompa: LONG FRIDAY (EX PONTO FESTIVAL)

This story is based on the novel “Kaddish for an Unborn Child” by the Hungarian author Imre Kertézs. The beautiful love story and the marriage of the main characters ends in divorce. B. is not able to face his past: the imprisonment in his childhood and his miraculous survival. These events disrupt his life and love as an unbreakable wall. His wife wants a baby, he doesn’t. He thinks that his comprehension of life is misunderstood and that happiness can’t be shared.
“Long Friday” is a reflection of dramas, lived by anonymous people.
