A long time ago in eastern Europe, the turmoil following a revolt against Soviet occupation led to the separation of a small child and her mother. While the mother is forced to flee the country, her daughter is raised by a bunch of precocious geese. After 5 years of separation, the child gets on its way to meet the mother in exile to stand face to face with her like a stranger. Anyu, which means mother in Hungarian, is a story about the inner life of a refugee child. Anyu is also a story about a mother and her dichotomy between the societal role deemed responsible for reproductive work and the willingness to avow for freedom and take part in a revolt.
