Parents with Limits

Directing: Eszter Nordin

Synopsis

"Give me a child for 7 years..." Raising a child is never easy - for the protagonist of this moving documentary, it is even more trying: both parents are mentally handicapped and the father is deaf and dumb. In the genetic lottery, their first-born, Laci, ended up a highly intelligent boy, while their daughter was slow to develop. This unique project covering an eight-year period, from the wedding of the Satha couple until their son reaches the age of 7, aims to find the answer to a delicate question: what is more important - the human rights of the handicapped or the rights of their healthy child?
