Director Statement
The Dutch-Hungarian short, Inconvenient comfort gives a critical view on our modern days’ wealthy societies with a unique eastern European taste. This is my directorial as well as my writer debut as a filmmaker. The heroic story of Annabelle is based on my experience of living in the Netherlands for more than two years.
