A young boy with curly blonde hair stands by a weathered wooden wall plastered with Hungarian-language posters and notices, wearing a red plaid shirt, with curly blonde hair, gazing pensively to the side in a period drama setting.

About Orphan

Academy Award-winning director László Nemes’ highly anticipated third feature, set in post-war Budapest, is a film of great import, style and technical flair. 

Following the war, a boy is reunited with his mother. As he grows, so too does his longing to reconcile the identity of his father. Nemes (Son of Saul, Sunset) brings a laser focus to the boy’s dogged quest and in doing so, paints a much larger and complex portrait of a haunted Jewish community rebuilding itself as it grapples with the horror of erasure.

  2. A black and white photograph of a young man standing on a sandy beach, one hand resting on a wooden railing or structure. He wears an open, loose-fitting striped shirt over a vest and high-waisted trousers with a belt. His hair is slightly tousled. The sea with breaking waves is visible behind him, and the sky is hazy. The composition is framed by diagonal wooden beams in the foreground.

  3. A striking black-and-white film still. An older working man in a flat cap, braces and rolled-up sleeves is hauling multiple worn tyres and a battered metal bucket along a rural dirt track, fields stretching out behind him under a grey sky. He looks directly into the camera with a weathered, stoic expression — burdened but unbowed.
