Starring Bianka Berényi (an Instagram celebrity) and László Réti (a three-time winner of the Special Olympics World Games), who are both making their debut appearance on the big screen, the cast of Blossom Valley also includes Károly KozmaGyörgy Karos and Róbert Kardos, among other non-professional actors.

Written by László Csuja and Nagy V Gergő, the story hinges on Bianka (20), who finds herself drifting in the suburbs without any particular purpose. She has the sudden urge to steal a baby, which she does, but now she has to find a father and a home. When none of her ex-boyfriends are willing to lend a hand, the only one happy to help is Laci (21), who is mentally disabled and living in a workers’ hostel. Bianka sees this whole situation as little less than a thrilling role play, but Laci starts to love her and the baby, and will do whatever it takes to ensure a happy family life – and that is a challenge.

Produced by András Muhi and Gábor Ferenczy for FocusFox StudioBlossom Valley was developed as part of the Hungarian National Film Fund’s Incubator programme, and the HNFF is also in charge of the movie’s international sales.
