About The Citizen

The Citizen is a 2017 Hungarian drama film directed by Roland Vranik. It runs 108 minutes. The cast is led by Cake-Baly Marcelo, Ágnes Máhr and Arghavan Shekari. It holds an IMDb rating of 6.7.

The heart-wrenching story of The Citizen begins with a citizenship exam, where the examination committee rigorously questions a middle-aged African man. No matter how beautifully he recites Hungarian poetry, Wilson, a political refugee in his late fifties, fails the exams for the umpteenth time, because he doesn’t know where the periodical ‘Magyar Közlöny’ got its name from, and what the Corvinae are. Moreover, inspired by Vörösmarty’s poem, the committee chairman even questions his reasons for leaving his mother country. Wilson argues that his reasons include his fellow citizens cutting pregnant women in half, yet he doesn’t manage to soften the heart of the committee members.
