Escape by Marika Barnett

Written by Marika Barnett
Directed by Timea Zsedely
Escape is the story of seven Hungarian refugees in 1956 who have to face the tough question after crossing the borders of Hungary: “Now what?”. Each of them arrives with their very own “baggage” – the earnest and funny revolutionary and Holocaust survivor Tomi, the confident and studious Vera, the always bickering intellectuals, Dr. Goldberger and his wife, the sickly and silent Ádám and the oh-so-verbal Gábor Kertész who left his family to start a new life with his mild-mannered secretary. As the story unfolds, the oftentimes inconvenient truth also comes to the surface.
