Another Way
Acclaimed Hungarian director Karoly Makk (Love, Catsplay) directs a startling romantic drama set against the aftermath of the failed Hungarian revolution of 1956. Livia, the quiet wife of an army officer, is a reporter for a Budapest newspaper where Eva, an outspoken lesbian, comes to work after two years of politically motivated unemployment. Eva and Livia engage in an intense flirtation, which leads to tragic consequences.
