SYNOPSIS

Dad’s Car is the author’s own monodrama investigating an intimate and mournful relationship with his deceased father. An already complex father – son relationship becomes a love triangle when an inherited old-timer automobile is brought into the picture. The car is the father’s childhood dream come true, but for the son it is merely an in vain attempt to reestablish some contact with the deceased father. How is one such emotionally valuable legacy to be dealt with, the son asks only to find out that some questions perhaps offer no answers.

BIOGRAPHY

Born in 1967 in Budapest, Hungary, Péter directs commercials since 1997. Conducted English and audio-visual studies at ELTE University, Budapest. Also worked as actor and copywriter.

 

SYNOPSIS

Food is a fundamental, everyday need. Delivered food is becoming one of the most trivial forms to satisfy such needs in the urban reality. Understanding is total between two of the process’ protagonists: the one ordering and the one delivering, concerning the nature and the flow of the transaction. Not this time. Food in this context is the source of an everyday existential conflict. It brings the transporters and the receiving end together in a nerve racking psychic duel. The delivery boy is a huge, sweating man of instincts, who is executing a nearly physical work. His enemy is a girl frail in her appearance, probably frustrated inside, but stone cold and defiantly honest on the outside. The delivery guy is the least prepared of the two for the clash, and suffers the biggest blow. He cannot understand and take the questioning of such a simple and obvious process as delivery. The existential ‘coup de grace’ performed by the girl is the cruellest of all: she throws in his face her disdainful perception of everything he is. The fearsome weapon is one of the strongest labels of urban lifestyle: plastic. The man departs collapsed, but comforted by his executioner. The girl stays and eats. The transaction is complete. The wheels turn, the restaurant takes orders, plastic lives on.

That is why a gag is introduced- By itself or as a global metaphor it functions as a key to acknowledge the position of absurdity. It’s the animated steam engine of the late 19th century.
