Pogány Induló is a Hungarian rap star. For him, music is everything, and the adoration of his fans gives him a sense of purpose. Yet both come at a cost to his health and his life.
At just twenty years old, the rapper has already gone through several identities. As a child, he dreamed of becoming famous. Today, he sells out stadiums. But living with ADHD and achieving success at such a young age has begun to take its toll. Pogány Induló struggles with panic attacks and physical collapses, suppressing his condition through drug use and alcohol consumption. With the recent passage of a Hungarian law criminalizing drug possession and the promotion of drug use, he has also become a political target and finds himself living on the edge of the law. A dynamic montage of images, memories, and thoughts mirrors the rapper’s chaotic mental state, underscoring the dark side of fame at such a young age, as well as the loss—and ongoing search—of one’s identity.
The film will be subtitled in English.
