Adoption
Márta Mészáros · 1975
Márta Mészáros’s 1975 drama follows Kata, a 42-year-old Hungarian factory worker, as she forms a bond with a teenage girl at a children’s home and pursues adoption. Shot with documentary restraint and performed with quiet intensity, it examines reproductive choice, institutional care, and the unremarked labour of kinship — all without sentimentality or resolution.
