The performances are pretty raw and heartfelt, especially from the child actor, who brings a lot of authenticity to Áron's confusion and despair. It’s a compelling exploration of familial bonds and the harshness of adult decisions impacting a child’s life. Not your typical drama, but it has a depth that sticks with you.
