CARE

Zsóka is a Hungarian mother living in Berlin. She returns for the summer vacation near Lake Balaton. During the holiday, she gets to know a woman from the village and her two boys. She suspects that the woman is emotionally and physically abusing the boys. She tries to establish a connection with her to convince herself that her suspicions are unfounded, but the situation becomes more and more obvious. During the usual visits from friends and trips to the beach her thoughts are preoccupied with the dilemma: what can she do, or rather, should she do anything at all? She becomes oppressed by her own passivity and the weight of responsibility that would come with concrete action. One upsetting night pushes her over the edge, and she files a report at the child protective services which starts an avalanche of events she can no longer control.
