Bálint Vida

This film is a tribute to a humiliated and destroyed nation. "As Long as the Grass Grows" is an alternative, ancient and humble creation story, where man is not the crown of the creation, but the weakest of all creatures. The film takes us back to the beginning of time, where Old Man begins to create the world out of a handful of mud. Everything he creates is new and nameless, and affects the rest of the world. Even feelings and desires are unknown and when they emerge, the world becomes more and more complicated.

Life is not always full of joy. A young boy dreams of being a bus driver. His father is hiding - for what he does not know - and his mother does not want him to speak to strangers. Everyday the boy is allowed to go out and play on a pile of wood in a nearby yard. One day a stranger shows up and wants to befriend the boy.
