The Family Portrait
Synopsis
“Every family has its own set of circumstances and problems that only its members can fully understand.” Daisaku Ikeda
A quiet Sunday afternoon in the aristocratic family home, just before the fall of the Austro-Hungarian empire. Andras and his daughter Zsofia are caught by surprise when Andras’ brother, Zoltan, intrudes into the intimacy of their home, along with his big family. A poetic, dark, and somewhat humorous social observation, in which family ties and relationships are broken down and dissected into pieces.
As Austro-Hungary teeters on collapse, Andras and his daughter are taken aback by the visit from Andras' unpredictable brother, Zoltan, who comes accompanied by his large family.
