A young peasant woman performs a strange ritual, prays fervently,

to get pregnant. Centuries later, two contemporary women nd

AS FAR AS I KNOW
Hungary - 77 min
Written and directed by Nándor Lörincz and Bálint Nagy. With Balázs
Bodolai, Gabriella Hámori, Attila Menszátor-Héresz, and Iván Fenyö
(Jarhead).
When a couple working in the same company nd the news of their
impending adoption overshadowed by the pregnancy of their friends,
their very different reactions lead to an argument on the bus home.
The woman unexpectedly gets off at a random stop, and the man
stays in his seat, arriving before her. When she arrives home much
later and in distress, it becomes clear to him that something terrible
has happened. A brilliantly made lm that wrestles with questions of
perspective, memory, and victimhood. In Hungarian, with subtitles.
Produced by Gábor Kovács, Ernõ Mesterházy, Zoltán Mártonffy,
Mónika Mécs and Ágnes Pataki. Edited by Márton Gothár. Director of
Photography: Bálint Nagy. From The National Film Institute, Hungary.
