Deva
In der Kleinstadt Deva bekommt das Teenagermädchen Kató, das in einem Waisenhaus lebt, beim Haareföhnen einen Stromschlag. Dieser scheinbar banale Zwischenfall stellt alles auf den Kopf: Das Waisenhaus wird von Elektrikern übernommen, eine neue Freiwillige namens Bogi soll die Ordnung wiederherstellen. Kató verliebt sich in sie, so sehr, dass sie alles infrage stellt. „2005 habe ich in einem Kinderheim in Deva ein dreijähriges Albinomädchen kennengelernt. Wir haben uns angefreundet, sie war das Vorbild für die Geschichte. Deva handelt vom Übergang zwischen Kindheit und Erwachsensein und der Ungewissheit, die dieses Alter ausmacht.“ (Petra Szöcs)
In the small town of Deva, Kató, a teen girl living in an orphanage, gets electrocuted while drying her hair. This apparently banal event will turn things upside down. The orphanage is invaded by electricians, and a new volunteer, Bogi, is hired to help restore the order. Kató will become infatuated by her to the point of reconsidering the way she views her world. "In 2005 I met a 3-year-old albino girl in a children’s home in Deva. We became friends, and she inspired the story. Deva is a film about the transition between childhood and adulthood and the ambiguity of this age.“ (Petra Szöcs)
