LOGLINE
When 10-year-old Ábel is attacked by his classmate Bence at school, his father decides to visit Bence's parents to put an end to the constant harassment. However, the conversation does not go as hoped and confronts father and son with a moral dilemma.
DIRECTOR STATEMENT
When children are socialized in an abusive or neglectful environment, they experience this as a normal part of their lives. If no one pays attention to their feelings, they will not take their own feelings seriously neither. How could they feel the pain of the other child they are hurting at school? And how can we expect them to show empathy and tenderness to others later as an adult if they have no experience about it?
With THE OTHER END OF THE STREET, Kálmán Nagy succeeds in a fine, millimeter-precise realization of a father-son conflict that emotionally carries us away and surprises us with its dramaturgical arc. A very truthful play that exposes the feelings of each individual character and lets us experience their dilemma between responsibility and violence in a non-judgmental way.
