Young teacher Juci attempts to challenge the outdated methods in her school, while new student Palkó, recently relocated from abroad, struggles to adapt to the demanding educational system. Their personal stories offer insight into an oppressive system, reflecting the broader Hungarian society.
Today, Hungary's educational system is in crisis: a shortage of teachers and new laws silencing them have an impact on what we learn in school as children. This inspired me to explore self-censorship in Fekete pont.
