The Chain of Eszter

Our film tells the dramatic story of Esther, a
mother suffering from bipolar depression, and
her son, Peter. Esther is a publicist, an essayist,
a critic, an editor, a translator, an art-historian, a
university lecturer and researcher. Her lectures
are extremely popular, she's a genuine
speaker. Peter goes to university in London
where he studies chemistry. The film observes
their unique relationship. Esther tries really hard
not to be a burden for him, while Peter tries
to be as supportive as he can – but actually
these two motives do contradict each
other.Though bipolar disorder has been a wellknown
mental health issue for many years,
public discussion is very rare on the subject,
very few affected go public.This is film is created to
provoke and to initiate discussion.
