This gripping near-future thriller tells the story of Syrian refugee Aryan, who tries to cross the Hungarian border along with his father and many others. But when they are spotted and the police open fire at Aryan, he makes the astounding realisation that he has the ability to levitate. Plotting to exploit Aryan’s newfound power, Dr. Stern sneaks him out of the refugee camp. Arousing fear in some, avarice in others, the unlikely superhero sparks shootouts and car chases with his every turn through the elegant streets of Budapest. Dynamic camerawork and unexpected narrative techniques lend an ultramodern dimension to this universal parable of good, evil, faith and disillusionment. Jupiter’s Moon was screened in competition at Cannes and earned its creators Best Cinematographer and Best Visual Design at the Hungarian Film Week.
