The Grandson is the debut theatrical feature of Hungarian writer-director Kristóf Deák, who won an Academy Award for best live-action short in 2017.
The film centers on quiet 28-year-old office manager Rudi, the “nice guy” everyone can count on. When his beloved grandpa falls victim to a particularly ruthless scam, his comfortable world is turned upside down. Pushed by guilt and a desire to bring justice to the criminals, Rudi starts his own investigation, descending into the world of petty crime – and finding peculiar allies along the way.
A coming-of-age drama, disguised as a crime thriller, with darkly comic undertones, the cast includes emerging actor Gergely Blahó, and Tamás Jordán, who appeared in Oscar nominated “On Body and Soul” (2018), as well as “Time Stands Still” (1981), “Sweet Emma,” and “Dear Böbe” (1992).
In Hungarian with English subtitles.
