Don’t Worry Sári!
directed by: Sári Haragonics; Hungary, Bulgaria, 2025, 82 mins; Hungarian language with English subtitles
Six years after her mother's death, Sári is trying to keep her family together. She steps into the role of her active, organizing mother, who was obsessed with VHS cameras in the 1980s, by filming the lives of her three closest male relatives, whom she sees as struggling with anxiety, loneliness, or self-destructive patterns. As the filming progresses, Sári realizes that she has inherited not only her mother's filmmaking ambitions but also her tendency to control everything in an attempt to solve others' problems. This personal documentary intertwines present-day footage, family archives, voice messages, and dreams, creating a sensitive portrait of how the layers of past and present interact and overlap within family dynamics.
Don’t Worry Sári! won the Audience Award at the 22nd Verzió Film Festival.
