This Hungarian slice-of-life from director Andras Peterffy focuses on the troubles of a pre-teen both at school and at home. Eszter (Henriett Deres) has already experienced the trauma of her parents' divorce and is now living with her mother while visiting her father often. Her mother tends to hover nearby, anxious to make up for the lack of a male role model at home, and her father's new spouse goes against the grain -- Eszter just does not like her. Added to the problems of no breathing room at home and an unwanted stepmother are the usual pre-teen difficulties with friends, teachers, and in her case, a boyfriend. As the small dramas in her life play out, viewers get a good look at an ordinary Hungarian family. ~ Eleanor Mannikka, All Movie Guide
