Hidden World: The Story of Hungary's Wild Waters

There are worlds barely visible to the human eye. Lives we barely notice. Stories that fade into oblivion. Hungary was once a land of waters. Full of extraordinary creatures. From mountain forests to the depths of the underworld. Worlds created and made unique by water. But now, it is this very treasure, water, is what's pouring out of our hands. As we expand, the last of Hungary's wild waters are being squeezed back. Where nature still plays to the rhythms of the past... Where wildlife has to fight fierce battles for prey, the right to mate, and to raise the next generation... It's there that this hidden world reveals its secrets.

Directed by Zoltán Fehér, Hidden World: The Story of Hungary's Wild Waters leans on a strong ensemble — János Csernák — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.

The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about documentary titles of 2023.
