Zsolt Pozsgai discusses the origins of his award-winning screenplay, inspired by a shocking news story about a pregnant African woman who survived a van crash while fleeing illegal migration. The narrative evolves from this factual basis, incorporating elements of personal experience and imagination, particularly influenced by a reclusive literature teacher. Pozsgai emphasizes the film's focus on cultural intersections rather than just migration, highlighting themes of escape and human relationships. Despite initial rejection from Hungary's National Film Institute, the screenplay gained international acclaim, winning over eighty awards. Pozsgai aims to create a Hungarian film with local actors and is currently working on new projects, including a film about the 1956 revolution. His recent feature film, The Riddle Pact, won the Best Film award at the New York Film Awards. Teljes cikk (Magyarnemzet)
