Orbán Viktor egy ritka lehetőséghez jutott 2010-ben. Kétharmados többséget szerzett a parlamentben, és ezzel erős felhatalmazást kapott arra, hogy fejlődési pályára állítsa Magyarországot. Ehhez külső segítséget is kapott. A 2010-es években fellendült a világgazdaság, és az Európai Unióból olyan hatalmas mennyiségű támogatás érkezett Magyarországra, amihez hasonlóra az elmúlt több mint száz évben nem volt példa az ország történetében. Mihez kezdett ezekkel a példátlan lehetőségekkel Orbán Viktor? Mennyire tartotta be 16 évvel ezelőtti ígéreteit? Erről szól ez a film.

Budapest Silo
Short documentary
25’ Hungary
Synopsis:
József has been working at the largest still-operational grain mill in Budapest, Hungary for over 30 years. During the day, he wanders through the thick coat of dust which covers every corner of the monstrous maze-like entrails of the mill. Then, like a diver, he descends into the 25-meters-deep silos, surrounded by darkness, he undertakes the seemingly hopeless task of cleaning them, brushing the dust away. József has been suffering from the effects of long-term grain dust on his lungs, yet, he seems unable to escape the mill. An unspoken bond seem to tie them together, at night, from the window of his small trailer he watches over the menacing concrete structure, while during the day, hanging from his harness, utterly alone, he performs dazzling, dizzying dance-like movements in the depths of the silo, his body is feels light as if swimming.
