Dávid is a violin player in a youth music orchestra. During their annual concert tour, the group’s life gets thrown into turmoil after 13-year-old Nóri seeks help when she tells Dávid and his peers that she is being regularly molested by the orchestra’s 60-year-old conductor. The teens soon get hard evidence when they are able to record an intimate scene between Nóri and the conductor. Dávid wants to protect Nóri, but things get even more complicated when a secret attraction between them unfolds. More and more girls come forward with similar experiences, and we find out that with Nóri it might have been more than just sexual harassment. The children’s parents want the case to disappear, but Dávid and his team try to bring the conductor to justice.

No One's Going Anywhere
Dani is an immature, effeminate nobody. He’s an overgrown freak who owes everything to his parents – at least that’s what he, at 18, thinks of himself. That’s before they suffer a serious car accident on a country road. Dani suddenly freezes just as he is sprinting for the train to the hospital. He can’t face hopping on, nor can he bring himself to accept the possibility that he may lose his parents. Running from his thoughts and emotions, he finds himself in Budapest at night, where his Odyssey begins. The film tells the story of those feverish six hours: how Dani seemingly drifts, avoiding reality and trying desperately to prove himself, all the while becoming a man the hard way.

‘Tales from the Cell’ is a creative documentary about the power of storytelling. Men sentenced to prison and deprived of their freedom create imaginary worlds in which their children are able to overcome all hurdles and reach their goal. When tales come alive the limitations of everyday reality vanish, enabling fathers and their children to be part of the same story again. On the one hand the film is a bridge connecting the actors, and on the other hand it is a sensitive and genuine record of their complex relationships.
