Overview:Painter István Sándorfi left Hungary when he was 8 years old. His father was the director of IBM in Hungary, he was convicted in a mock trial, and after his release the family had to flee. They ended up in Paris, where Sándorfi became a world-famous painter, yet his name was hardly known in Hungary. Hungarian roots, politics, and the French environment were as ingrained in his every brushstroke as childhood and adult traumas. Viewers can get to know this surreal yet ultimately realistic world, the special world of the high-society womanizer, yet sensitive and withdrawn artist, István Sándorfi, in Borbála Kerekes' film.
