The ELTE–NFI University Film Club continues the series of screenings and discussions. We welcome university citizens from all faculties of ELTE.
Seventeen-year-old Emilia Odor's red hair is not the only thing that makes her stand out among the students at the Ilona Zrínyi Institute for Girls. She has only recently arrived from Pest to the strict rural college, but she is already in conflict with its rules, rebelling against its strict order, hypocritical faculty, and fossilised customs, and rallying her classmates to her side, becoming a leader among the girls. That is, until the headmistress announces a competition: one student from each class will be chosen to attend the millennium celebrations in Budapest. The competition soon turns the girls, who had been close until then, against each other, and only Emilia Odor recognises the manipulation behind the intention.
