    • Synopsis
    • Countryside Hungary, nowadays. 18-year-old Dávid is the lead violinist in his music conservatory’s orchestra. His mentor and their conductor is Frigyes – sort of a father figure for Dávid. Nóri, a freshman student joins the orchestra at the end of the school year. She enjoys Frigyes’ unlimited attention, thus making her unpopular among her peers, but Dávid soon finds out that the 14-year-old girl’s suspiciously close relationship with their 60-year-old conductor is more than what it seems… While looking for the truth, Dávid's life soon starts to spiral out of control as he faces tough decisions and the adult society's negligence.
