István Várdai, the world-class Hungarian musician, still only in his thirties, is one of the most sought-after cellists of our time. His story, with a glimpse into his life, reveals what comes with having unique talent. Is it a blessing? Or a burden, making life more difficult? What happens when ambition comes with a huge sense of mission?

The screening will be introduced by film- and music critic László Kolozsi (in Hungarian).


Guest: Eszter Száraz, director and István Várdai, cellist
