Heritage
We don’t see Isabelle Huppert in a Hungarian film every day, yet Márta Mészáros managed to get her to play one of the lead roles in her drama The Heiresses. It is 1936 and the fabulously wealthy Szilvia (Lili Monori) is barren, but she would give anything to be able to have an heir to the vast family fortune. This is why she ‘buys’ Irén (Huppert) in order to have a child by Szilvia’s husband, Ákos (Jan Nowicki), which she would then bring up as her own. However, Ákos and Irén fall in love with each other… This film launched the huge hit „Sohase mondd” sung by Judit Hernádi; songwriters were Zsolt Döme and István Verebes.
Free tickets for the screening can be collected at the cinema’s box office.
