I Accidentally Wrote A Book (Véletlenül írtam egy könyvet) (2024)
Hungarian family film, comedy, drama, director: Nóra Lakos
1 hour 38 min
MPA film rating: PG
The movie is in Hungarian with English subtitles.
Synopsis: I Accidentally Wrote a Book tells the very personal and inspiring story of 12-year-old Nina, who discovers the healing power of writing. As she learns to write, Nina uncovers her family's history, experiences the long-suppressed grief of her long-lost mother, and gains a deeper sense of self. We follow the daily life of a teenage girl as she copes with conflicts with her little brother, experiences her first love and the process of becoming a woman.
We follow every moment of her life through her writing and see how each decision the author makes changes the whole story. All this is depicted with unique visual elements that blend live action and animation, celebrating the wonders of storytelling.
We look forward to sharing this remarkable piece of the Hungarian film industry with our audience, and to welcoming you for an evening of reflection, culture, and cinematic excellence.
