The 37-year-old director hasn’t wasted his time along the way for he has made a string of films, including the multiple award-winning Dealer in 2004, the experimental Milky Way (Golden Leopard at Locarno in the Filmmakers of the Present section in 2007) and the English-language film Womb [+see also:

A rural thriller set against a backdrop of racism and centred on a gypsy family from the Great Plains stalked by killers, Just The Wind was produced by Hungary’s Inforg-M&M Film and co-produced by Germany (The Post Republic) and France (Paprika Films).
Sales are expected to be handled by The Match Factory.
