SUNDAY DAUGHTERS
(Vasarnapi Szulok)

Year: 1980
Country: Hungary
Run Time: 100 minutes

SUNDAY DAUGHTERS

SUNDAY DAUGHTERS explores subjects of heartbreaking familiarity to contemporary society, such as strife-ridden families, adolescent delinquency and the failure of bureaucracy to help troubled young people. The film's protagonist is a 16-year-old girl named Juli, unruly and careless yet intelligent and resourceful. Juli shuttles from a girls reform school to an apprenticeship at a local mill to secret meetings with her alcoholic father and back to school again. Her restless travels are mirrored in her quest for emotional security as she initiates, and frequently dissolves, friendships with peers and adults alike. SUNDAY DAUGHTERS makes a poignant case against institutionalized, formula-dependent approaches to the problems of the individual. This film will surely invite comparison to Francois Truffaut's "The 400 Blows" (1959).
