Sing (Mindenki) - by Kristof Deák | Oscar winning short film about social injustice
Zsofi is struggling to fit in at her new school – singing in the school’s famous choir is her only consolation, but the choir director may not be the inspirational teacher everyone thinks she is. It will take Zsofi and her new friend Liza to uncover the cruel truth.
“Sing“ is a childhood drama with a lot of music set in 1990s post-socialist Budapest, Hungary.
Based on a true story, it follows an award-winning school choir and the new girl in class facing a tough choice: to stand up against a corrupt system - or to fit quietly into it.
