About this item

The feature film debut Fresh Air wonderfully portrays an impossible mother-daughter relationship against the background of contemporary small-town life in Hungary. Both the mother (in her forties, no husband) and her teenage daughter are painfully lonesome but would never openly admit it to each other, or to the outside world. The mother, who works as a toilet lady, seeks her way out of loneliness by secretly meeting men she finds from ads. Her life is full of routines and seems lacking perspective of any significant kind. The mother's routines irritate her daughter, who seems to be ashamed of her mother's job. The daughter always opens all the windows and doors when her mother comes home. There is no man around until a new admirer of the daughter appears on the scene.
