Introduction

In Cluj, Transylvania, bailiff Orsolya (a terrific Eszter Tompa) has been appointed to evict a homeless man from a cellar. When he commits suicide, guilt-ridden Orsolya tries to find comfort and redemption around her. Shot on an iPhone in just 10 days, Kontinental ’25 features some of the wittiest, irreverent and thought-provoking dialogue you’ll hear this year.
