Synopsis:
We follow the story of five immigrants in Budapest, two of whom still live here as refugees. We touch upon various levels of their life – from the banal to the serious. In economic theory, “random walk” means that stock market prices cannot be predicted. Each time, the price has a fifty-fifty chance of closing higher or lower than the previous day. It means that we don’t know how – or where the life of these people going further.

Musical Traumas
2018 16+ 10 min
by Miloš Tomić
Musical Traumas came to fruition as the result of the director’s obsession with music schools. It is a rhythmic compilation of traumatic, but amusing confessions of former students, as well as an attempt to visualise music with scrumptious, hand-drawn animation. The experiences may be documentary, but the image comes straight from the world of musical impressions.
