The Smell of Humans

The profound depths of Ernõ Szép's life and poetry are revived in a new film adaptation of the poet's novel, 'The Smell of Humans'. This stoic and lyrical narrative of twenty fateful days offers an authentic account of an inhuman era.

Directed by Mária Harangi, The Smell of Humans leans on a strong ensemble — József Gyabronka, Balla Eszter, Tamás Dunai — 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 drama titles of 2022.
