Orphan is the highly anticipated third feature from acclaimed director László Nemes after Son of Saul and Sunset. Set in post-war Budapest and presenting a jarring and tragic yet beautiful portrait of survival, despite all the odds.

Set in 1957, just one year after the Soviet suppression of the Hungarian Uprising, Orphan follows young Andor (Bojtorján Barabas) attempting to uncover his family's fractured history, and clinging to the hope that his father, a Hungarian Jew who disappeared during World War II, will one day return.

When a brutish stranger from the nearby countryside arrives, claiming a mysterious link to his mother's past, Andor is thrust into a personal reckoning. Long-buried secrets of wartime survival and moral compromise begin to surface, forcing him to confront the cost of truth and the meaning of resilience under tyranny.
