The Citizen

The Citizen tells the story of Wilson, who has been trying to pass a citizenship exam in Hungary. Despite his eloquence in reciting Hungarian poetry, he continually fails due to the committee's rigid questioning, which includes obscure references to local history and culture.

The film highlights Wilson's desperation and the harsh realities faced by refugees. His attempts to express the traumatic reasons for his departure from his home country, including violence against his fellow citizens, go unheard by the committee. The film's exploration of the bureaucratic process and its impact on personal lives resonates with contemporary issues surrounding immigration and identity.
