LOVE CHILD // BIDF EXTRA
A love story is different when it's a documentary rather than a fictional film with actors playing the roles – or so we might think. And indeed, it is different. Because the love we witness in a documentary is a raw, flesh-and-blood reality.
In Iran, for example, even if you're a high school teacher, simply being happy, being in love… can be impossible.
Love Child
We look forward to seeing you!

Synophsis:
LOVE CHILD offers a poignant portrait of Leila and Sahand, an Iranian couple who, outlawed for their love, flee the country with their four-year-old son, Mani. In Tehran, they committed the crime of having a secret affair while being married to other people and were forbidden to get divorced. Neither could they acknowledge that Mani was an illegitimate child since adultery can be punished with execution in Iran. Intimately filmed over five years, we follow their quest to be together, battling with both Iranian and European law, their lives in limbo.

Bem Cinema
In January 2016, the 108-year-old Bem Cinema will reopen its doors to the public, in a new way never seen before in Hungary: as a cinema of cult and classic films (no harm!), or as the educated French say (if you know your English): as a "repertory cinema".
