"Filthy Times"
Fourteen-year-old Ármin is a punk on his better days, a right-winger on his worst, but mostly a confused teenager and talented guitarist. His father, József “Dönci” Dénes, an iconic guitar virtuoso of the 1970s underground scene, has been dead eight years. Ármin has been living with his mother and three siblings in a sheltered housing unit ever since, trying to bring order to the chaos that Dönci left behind. Their lives are marked by ideological confusion, concealed emotional insecurities, and existential instabilities. Can instincts help locate a secure path in this chaotic world?
Marcell Torok was born in Zalaegerszeg, Hungary, in 1990, and has been making films since 2008. After graduating from the Moholy-Nagy University of Art and Design's Media Design faculty in 2015, he began film directing studies at the University of Theater and Film Arts (SZFE), Budapest. In his opinion, the most important thing in making movies is that the crew, as a group of creative people, love watching other people's stories and wanting to share these on the screen.
