Synopsis
An older woman decides to swap her two-bedroom apartment for something more compact. The influx of interested individuals disrupts her quiet life, as she forms fleeting connections with strangers for only a brief time. Awarded in Locarno and Berlin for her documentaries, Judit Elek's feature debut shines through its cinéma vérité elements and the awkwardness of the situations.
