High Voltage

This short film delves into the dynamics of life at the fringes of society. Set in the Great Hungarian Plain, it portrays the daily struggles of two communities that coexist yet remain strangers to each other. The workers at a high-tech factory rely on a consistent electric supply, while the inhabitants of the gypsy ghetto often face power cuts, symbolizing their marginalization.

Directed by Duna Műhely and Katapult Film, High Voltage showcases the tension and isolation experienced by its characters. The film's narrative is both poignant and thought-provoking, tackling themes of electricity as both a literal and metaphorical source of life and division. With a top cast that includes Hermina Fátyol and Dániel Erdélyi, the film invites viewers to reflect on the implications of societal divides.
