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.
