Vad víz – Aqua Hungarica
Hungary is the land of waters. The forces of nature colliding under the Carpathian Mountains and time itself shaped its hydrography. The wildlife that evolved here fights a daily fight with the elements and human activity. In this country, where rivers forced their way wildly, creeks showered onto fabulous forests, thermal springs and changeful moors vary the environment, the wildlife is more diverse than anywhere else in Europe. This is the story of Hungary's wild waters.
A Pleasure, Comrades!

They bring a great deal of questions, but the “comrades from the South”, in turn, have more questions than answers.

She Had a Dream
25-year-old Ghofrane dreams of becoming a politician and having an influence on the future of Tunisia.

A smaller film might turn a blind eye on realism in favour of a good story, but here both Ghofrane nor Amari are aware of the exhausting struggles that have to be overcome before she can bring about the change she so fervently longs to see happening. An inspiring film about a true idealist and a rich image of a society full of contrasts.
