Hungary's greatest writer loved like his novels—beautifully, destructively, and with too many women at once.
The legendary and tragic story of Zsigmond Móricz and his lovers is told through a dense web of love games.
Acting
Zsolt Nagy captures Móricz's charm and consuming self-absorption.
Costume
Early 1900s Budapest upper crust, all velvet and repression.
Writing
Adapts real letters—devastatingly intimate, uncomfortably real.
Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Móricz is basically Hungary's Tolstoy-meet-Tennessee-Williams; his affairs were national gossip.
Edit Balázsovits is actually descended from Hungarian literary royalty herself—casting was intentional meta-commentary.
