Wich way should my chimney face?

Gergő and Liza, a young couple in their early twenties living a carefree life with their cats. Gergő’s mother is the character that brings the conflict by representing the generational differences especially when it comes to the subject of starting a family today. The plot revolves around a typical family gathering where all the disagreements keep coming up.
The film addresses issues such as the housing crisis, subsidies, responsible decision making and dysfunctional family patterns, all presented in a fresh, undramatic way, using experimental elements.

Director Statement

A film for me is always more than just entertainment. I want to help, educate, or at least start a conversation with my films. In "Which way should my chimney face?" we really tried to be honest to our selfs, do what we really want instead of following the rules of film. We wanted to push the limits and create something new, different and interesting.
