The script was penned by Krisztina Goda with her regular writing partner, Réka Divinyi. As a reminder, the plot is set one evening during a Christmas Eve dinner party, as the guests decide to share all of their incoming calls and messages with their mobile phones on full display on the table. But while the game starts off as a bit of fun, it soon becomes increasingly less so, and more and more lies and untruths are laid bare…

Produced by Tamás S Zákonyi, Edit Ditz and Péter Geszti for Flashback Productions, BUEK has secured support from the Hungarian National Film Fund (to the tune of €1.1 million), and filming will continue until 18 May at the Mafilm Studios as well as at various locations in Budapest. The Hungarian theatrical release will be handled by Intercom.
