- DirectorAsia DérJudit Ember became a person who can see due to the persecution she experienced in her childhood. Still, she herself remained unseen. She and her films were banned. She was an artist and sociologist. She saw the world as life, not as a subject. She sensed the suffering of the world, but always through the suffering of the people. Her body of work teaches us that taking the unaccustomed path is the only way to challenge human difficulties. Asia Dér gives an exciting and punctual film about Judit Ember, about a director who never gave up honor neither as an artist nor as a person. The film is seeking an answer to the most difficult question what is the price of artistic truth? How was someone able to make films in the 70s and 80s in a way that they are more actual now than ever?
