SEVEN SMALL COINCIDENCES
O.V. in Hungarian subtitled in English and Spanish.
Péter Gothár returns after fifteen years of absence with a film that seems to embody many other films within one, making going to the cinema an unpredictable and electrifying experience. The film is the result of an overwhelming and euphoric love story, triggered by the arrival of a young woman in the life of a family formed by a music teacher, her husband, a book restorer, and their son. This same girl turns the teacher and her son upside down, an accidental encounter that, perhaps, is not so coincidental. Overflowing imagination, refined humor and glorious excesses: proving that cinema still has thousands of exciting surprises in store for us.
