Description of the content
A documentary portrait of Gyorgy Orsos, a 35 year old Gypsy boy with learning difficulties. Based on his age, one would designate him as man. However, having spent an eventful day together, we are left with a paradoxical conclusion. The filmmaker became acquainted with the 35 year old child. Gyurika is a real architecture enthusiast, he makes pencil drawings of Hungary's old buildings. Besides his technical knowledge, his flair for art is also amazing. We ask ourselves the same question, that is ever so present in his pictures: the question of appearances. It is tempting to think that the world is incomprehensible to him, but we come to realize that it is in fact us who cannot comprehend him. He gets on, day after day with nothing but simplicity, openness and charm. As the story ends, the viewer is brought to a strange borderline: where you have two extremes of emotion on each side of the scales, but they don’t balance.
