- In modern society there are still topics that are not talked about, publicly seen, and generally avoided; we call them Taboos. This evocative docuseries puts a spotlight on six of these issues and explores them with profiles of people living through them-Death, Grief, Addictions, Concealed Sins, and Atypical Families. Original Language in Hungarian with English captions available.
- Death, mourning, addictions, strange sexual habits, concealed sins and taboos in family life. These are problems that we might have experienced up-close in our lives, but in most cases, we ignore them and do not or very rarely talk about it. What is the life like for a gay couple living in the countryside? What was the priest going through, who became an alcoholic from the overconsumption of altar wine? Why does a swinger couple reveal their identity? The documentary series "Taboos without taboos" explores taboo topics we do not want to be confronted with, despite it's happening in front of our eyes, sometimes even in our own family or immediate environment. The six-part, self- produced series presents one specific taboo subject through personal stories in each one-hour episode. We got to know real protagonists though real conversations in their real environment (at home, at the swinger club, at the crematorium, during hospital visit, at their workplace, with their family, at a weed selling bar, in prison, on the football pitch, during therapy sessions). Each talk focuses on the process of coping with the protagonist's situation, how they processed the traumatic events and found the way out of their situation. The series "Taboos without taboos" commissioned by AMC/ Spektrum was developed from an own idea by one of the leading advertising agencies in Hungary, ACG Budapest. In 2018, the series was awarded the "Best Documentary" at Mexico International Film Festival and the "Best Documentary Television Film" at Jahorina Film Festival.
