Never In Love 52 Years of Faithfulness

Ibolya Simó • Hungary • 2021 • 15 min
József, a former deaf-mute athletics champion, trains every day, running through the hills of Transylvania. His wife of 53 years is waiting for him at home.
The film offers compassionate, authentic portraits of two elderly Hungarians from Transylvania. He is deaf-mute and runs dozens of kilometres daily. She, on the other hand, hears and speaks, sometimes even on his behalf, but she can no longer walk and gets around with the help of a walking frame. Still, the two manage to communicate, understand each other and have a long life together in this short documentary about old age, but also about loyalty and love.
