Storyline

Aron Soprani (Tamas Meszaros) is a young boy abandoned by his father and given up to a state-run orphanage. His new home is run by cruel, abusive people, and young Aron finds little solace. Slowly forging relationships with the few allies he can find, including another boy, Attila (Szabolcs Csizmadia), and two orphanage workers, Aron and his circle rely on each other to survive the brutal conditions, both of the orphanage and their country, Hungary, ravaged by the spread of communism.

Short Review

Yet for all its dreary trappings, Abandoned possesses a remarkable distance and clarity that are promises in themselves.
