Zinemaldia 70: All possible stories

Kilenc Hónap / Nueve meses (Márta Mészáros, Hungary, 1976, 88')

Pushing the boundaries of traditional family, Juli has to be resourceful to juggle study, work and single motherhood. János is a man whose love might be guided more by social compliance than personal passion. Márta Mészáros’ first film in colour, this often uncompromising drama of mismatched aspirations places domesticity and work as characters alongside the individuals.
