Where are we headed?

Budapest’s Corvin Project, initiated in 2003, was the largest and most-awarded city development project in Central Europe. It envisioned the complete transformation of nearly 22 acres of territory in District 8, which meant demolishing any existing buildings in the “slum” area and relocating more than one thousand, mostly Roma, families. The protagonists of the film are local residents who have been relocated in the course of the project – and who recall, with certain nostalgia and criticism, life in the old neighborhood and community. Now they only see each other in the space reconstructed by the filmmaker.
