We will start the weekend with the screening of documentary “Fairy Garden” (2023, Hungary, Croatia, Romania, dir. Gergö Somogyvári), presented together with Kaunas’ Artists’ House .
On the outskirts of Budapest, in the heart of the woods, hides a ramshackle little hut. Inside, two social outcasts have formed the unlikeliest of bonds: Fanni, a 19 year-old transgender teenager, and Laci, a 60 year-old homeless man. Together, they form a cantankerous, convivial, makeshift family life, supporting each other as father and daughter through hardship and change. Life is tough, but it is theirs. Set on the margins of Hungarian society, this is a film about perseverance, finding home, and the triumph of acceptance.
The entrance is free. The film is screened in original language with English and Lithuanian subtitles. The events are partially financed by the Lithuanian Cinema Centre.
