The East Central European Center at the Harriman Institute presents its 2020-2021 film series: Contemporary Society and Its Discontents, a series of screenings and discussions of films from the past five years that comment on various aspects of contemporary life in East Central Europe. Join us for a virtual screening of the 2018 Hungarian film One Day ("Egy nap") and a discussion with director Zsófia Szilágyi and producer Edina Kenesei, moderated by Christopher W. Harwood and Aleksandar Bošković, co-directors of the East Central European Center.
SYNOPSIS. Anna is 40. She is always in a rush. She has three children, a husband, a job and financial stress. When it comes to money, each penny counts, when it comes to time, so does each minute. Anna meets deadlines, makes promises, takes care of things, brings stuff home and remembers everything. But she never catches up with her husband. She’d like to talk to him. She feels she must. She feels she is losing him. And she feels she can’t always evade what comes next. A clash between the everyday, the unbearably monotonous and the fragile and unique.
