THE WEDNESDAY CHILD

Highlights

Maja makes her way defiantly through her everyday life – like an average teenager, at least at first glimpse. Her life demands more of her than it does of her peers though: although she now lives on her own, the 19-year-old grew up in a children’s home. The only person who shows up to visit her unannounced now and then is her petty criminal boyfriend Krisz. The two of them have a four-year-old son together, who – like Krisz and Maja before him – lives in a children’s home. In order to make her dream of living together like a real family finally come true, Maja does all she can to be able to take custody of her child, though sometimes she ends up getting in her own way in the process.
