The Girl
<div style="font-size: 12pt; direction: ltr; font-family: Aptos, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">When she released this trailblazing debut feature - one of the first feature-length films directed by a woman in Hungary - <b>Marta Mészáros</b> was already a known figure, with over 30 acclaimed short films under her belt in both fiction and documentary.</div><div style="font-size: 12pt; direction: ltr; font-family: Aptos, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br></div><div style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: Aptos, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><i>The Girl </i>establishes the key themes that would come to define <b>Mészáros’s </b>work: complex family relationships(especially between a child and parent), tensions between traditional rural and urban spaces, and the search for a grounded existence in an ever-changing world. The film introduces <b>Mészáros’s </b>first female lead Erzsi, portrayed by singer <b>Kati Kovács</b>, who embodies the spirit of a modern, strong-willed woman. Raised in a state orphanage in Budapest and working in a factory, Erzsi decides to travel to the countryside to meet her birth mother. On her journey of self-discovery she encounters a world at odds with her independence.</div><div style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: Aptos, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br></div><div style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: Aptos, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Hungarian with English subtitles. </div><div style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: Aptos, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br></div><div style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: Aptos, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Screening as part of our <a href="https://">CineMasters: Marta Mészáros</a> season. </div>DramaPT1H21MCTBC2026-11-09HUhuKati Kovács
