The European Capital of Culture is inviting to the cinema!
Documentary Easy Lessons (Könnyű leckék, 2018) by Dorottya Zurbó is a poetic journey of a beautiful, young girl, Kafia who on the brink of adulthood breaks up with everything she grew up with in Somalia. Cultural values, taboos and dogmas fall apart in the most casual situations while trying to adapt to a new life in Europe, Hungary. Her mother helped her escape her fate but how can she explain the changes she lives through to her most loved one? She wants to do it for a sense of duty or a desire of resurrection, but how… This inner struggle becomes the film itself and maybe the only form of confession.
Film is in Hungarian and Somali, with Estonian subtitles.
