Screen can exclusively reveal the first full trailer for Sunset, the sophomore feature from Son Of Saul director László Nemes.
A Hungary-France co-production, the film will play in competition at Venice Film Festival, before screening as a special presentation at Toronto Film Festival.
Playtime is handling international sales.
Set in Budapest in 1913, the film focuses on Irisz Leiter (played by Juli Jakab), a young woman who arrives in the Hungarian capital hoping to work at a legendary hat store previously owned by her late parents. When she is turned away, she sets on a search for a man who can reveal the truth about a lost past.
The film was shot on 35mm by cinematographer Mátyás Erdély, who also shot Son Of Saul.
With production from Laokoon Filmgroup and Playtime Production, producers on the film are Gábor Sipos and Gábor Rajna, with co-producers François Yon, Nicolas Brigaud-Robert, and Valéry Guibal.
The film was made with the support of the Hungarian National Film Fund, as well as Eurimages and the Creative Europe MEDIA programme.
