Venice Film Festival 2026
Just before leaving for their summer holiday, Kristóf discovers black mold on the wall behind the wardrobe in his apartment, which he shares with his wife, Vera. Believing it is caused by a water leak somewhere in the building, he starts knocking on his neighbours’ doors to find the source. What begins as a simple repair problem soon turns into a chaotic and often funny fight among the residents. As the conflict grows, Kristóf faces not only the problems of a deteriorating apartment building but also the deeper issues affecting Hungarian society.
