Premiere Screening! Filmmaker in Person!
We warmly invite you to the Boston premiere of the award-winning film EXPLANATION FOR EVERYTHING, followed by a Q&A with director Gábor Reisz. The film has received top honors at some of the world’s most prestigious international festivals — including Best Film awards at Venice, Chicago, and Munich, just to name a few.
It’s summer in Budapest. Ábel, a high school senior, should be studying for his final exams — but he’s just realized he’s hopelessly in love with his best friend, Janka. Studious Janka has her own unrequited love with married history teacher Jakab – who had a previous confrontation with Ábel’s conservative father. The tensions of a polarized society come unexpectedly to the surface when Ábel’s history graduation exam turns into a national scandal. Ábel finds himself caught between two worlds, in the thick of it all, still in love.
