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 twentieth-century Europe at its very heart.

The Jewish boy Andor (Bojtorján Barábas) grows up in Budapest in 1957, in the shadow of the Hungarian Revolution, together with his stoic mother Klára (Andrea Waskovics). She raises him with an idealised 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 Andor’s father.
