FREE ENTRY / FREE ENTRY – ONE DAY OF BETTY
Betty and her friend V have a major project: the open-air Sziget festival held every summer on Óbudai, one of the Danube islands in Budapest. Instead of money the teenagers have a stash of grass waiting for a buyer. Food? Nothing wrong with the leftovers from other people’s plates. Tent? Why bother when you can sleep under the stars. Sleep? No way: the party goes on all night. V is a pretty girl who knows how to use her charms to the best advantage. Betty, more reserved and shy, never quite knows what to do with her hands, how to hold a cigarette, what to say to the boys they meet. But the tables are turned when the pair go their separate ways after an argument: now it’s each girl for herself. Yvonne Kerékgyártó’s debut feature FREE ENTRY, a fast-paced coming-of-age drama with tender nuances, brings back memories of light-hearted teenage days in which self-doubt was always waiting to pounce.
