Adoption

Marta Meszaros is without doubt one of the most significant female directors from Central Europe, with the majority of her outspoken work dealing frankly with issues of gender, politics and society. Adoption, one of her best\-known works, is a story about the hushed rebellion of two strong women, one in her forties and one in her teens. 43\-year\-old Kata longs to have a child of her own. Rejected by her married lover, Kata looks into adoption, and befriends orphaned teenager Anna, herself determined to start a new life for herself. Winner of the prestigious Golden Bear at the 1975 Berlin Film Festival, Marta Meszaros became the first woman filmmaker ever to receive the award.
