Directed by Agnes Kocsis Andrea Roberti (co-director)
Synopsis
First seen gently fending off a suitor at the Lost and Found Hearts singles gathering, Viola (Julia Nyako) lives quietly with daughter Angela (Izabella Hegyi) in a tidy retro flat. Though they seldom talk to one another and are each possessed of nearly obsessive domestic behavioural patterns, they look forward to their weekly dose of a popular television programme, which they watch together on the couch. Leisurely yet precise narrative follows Angela's ambitions to become a fashion designer with the help of pal Martina (Anita Turoczi). Her sort-of b.f., Emil (Zoltan Kiss), spouts physics equations but seems to like her. Later, Uncle Florian (Miklos Nagy) visits and asks Viola for money.
Control/Kontroll 17.04.07 at 6.15 p.m
2003/105 min/Comedy/Mystery/Thriller
Directed by Nimrod Antal
Synopsis
 The massive labyrinth netherworld that is the Budapest subway system, provides the stunning setting for 'Kontroll,' a high-style, high-speed romantic thriller in which the lives of assorted outcasts, lovers and dreamers intersect and collide. A handsome young hero, a mysterious maiden, and a particularly nasty killer must conduct a race against time, trains and destiny itself in their frantic pursuit of one another.

Synopsis
A terminally ill young woman Iren is saying goodbye to her child Rozsika. Fifty years later the then orphaned child is a homeless old woman who inherited her mother's pneumoconiosis. Throughout her time roaming around in the city Rozsika meets a taciturn woman, who moves in a strange way. They become close friends. Neither of them knows but the viewers soon find out that we are witnessing the reunion of mother and daughter. From this point the two women's lives are entwined. Through their adventures, the significantly different worlds and characters living in Hungary in the third millennium are juxtaposed. When it turns out that Rozsika, the old and ill homeless woman, has only days to live, Iren mobilises her hidden energies and like in a modern tale she saves her daughter from suffering.
