Keep Quiet

Synopsis

Passionate in his anti-Semitic beliefs, Csanád Szegedi was the rising star of Hungary's far-right party until he discovered his family's secret - his maternal grandparents were Jewish. The revelation prompts an improbable but seemingly heartfelt conversion from anti-Semite to Orthodox Jew.
This confrontational film explores the complex and contradictory character of Szegedi, prompting deep questions about Szegedi's supposed epiphany.
