Director Tamás Puskás gives us this beautiful, dramatic story with great preparation, sparkling joy and passion. As said a day before the premiere to the invited media representative Q.: “If I can transfer even half of this enthusiasm to the audience with this drama play, it will be very useful. for us, actors.”
In a nutshell: In the shadow of a powerful parent, how can a child prove herself? The daughter of a brilliant but mentally unstable father, disturbed mathematician, recently deceased. After his death, she is left alone with her deep pain along with her father’s notes and the question what to do with herself, who fears she may have inherited his madness or genius? Complicating matters are one of her father’s ex-students Tom, who appears studying the old man’s notes. Her sister, Claire, feels she must take control of her sister’s fate, who shows up to help settle her affairs.
