Cold stew

A young man finally reunites with his estranged father after a long and difficult effort to make their meeting happen. What begins as an attempt at a simple family meal quickly unravels into an absurd encounter filled with a broken microwave, a frozen dish, forgotten poems, and years of unspoken tension. Beneath the awkward humor lies a deeper generational divide between a father who sacrificed his dreams for security and a son determined to create a life of his own.

Directed by Domonkos Hercz, Cold stew leans on a strong ensemble — Vilmos Vajdai, Dávid Radó, Fekete Kepes Hanna — 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 screen titles of 2025.
