It is rare for the subjects of teen coming of age, personal fulfilment and emotional crises to come into the focus of documentary-makers so crisply, clearly and yet with such nuance as we find in Tantörténet. The exceptional sensitivity of Judit Ember is manifested in the way that, as artist, she takes a step back, allowing the characters to reveal themselves and discuss with each other – from the perspective of seven years – the fateful period they once lived together. Facing up to the past and recognizing personal responsibility for others is never easy, but the film clearly shows why we have a desperate need for this.
