Meatball

Short Fiction / 13 min / 2014 / HUNGARY

Synopsis:
An elderly couple receives a visitor. The poor salesman arrives at dinnertime, and he really shouldn’t have eaten one of the old woman’s meatballs… Inspired by a 1-sentence „short story” by classic absurd writer István Örkény and starring two legendary Hungarian actors in a rare lead role for both of them, this semi-comedy tells a twisted story of forgiveness.
