Long-term collaboration with HBO Hungary

 
HBO Hungary and the Hungarian National Film Fund have entered into a long-term collaboration for the joint creation of several Hungarian documentary films.

The first film to be produced is Stream of Love, a unique documentary study of love and longing set in an ethnic Hungarian village deep in the Romanian countryside, a place time has passed by, where the characters are no longer young.
Deeply emotional, sometimes shocking and explicit in its dialogue, we follow Denes, an incurable romantic who is past his 80th birthday, as he searches for love and sexual adventure with the women of the village. They, in turn, allow the camera to uncover their most intimate thoughts and dreams.
Stream of Love is funny, surprising and heartwarming, and reveals how the game of love and romance from a bygone age still flourishes in a remote country village.

Antony Root, EVP Original Programming and Production for HBO Europe said: "We are delighted to be partnering with Agnes Sos for a second time following our collaboration on her wonderful film INVISIBLE STRINGS: The Talented Pusker Sisters. Once again she will bring her acute eye and formidable film-making skills to a distinctive group of characters and their world."

Andy Vajna, Government Commissioner for Film in Hungary, commented, "The co-financing will enable the Stream of Love and any subsequent projects to find their best cinema distribution and broadcasting exploitation."

Agnes Havas, Head of the Hungarian Film Fund added: "Our mission is to support quality films that will attract Hungarian moviegoers and travel internationally. Stream of Love is a charming tale about an elderly widowman who tries his luck finding a new wife. When he visits the women villagers he relives the deepest and most dramatic secrets of love in body and soul.  A lovely dating story from a village in Transylvania with tearful charm and humour."

Ágnes Sós’s credits for award-winning documentaries include "..and there is prison, honey...", "Granny Teri" and "So what, we're capitalists."
