Péter Gárdos in conversation with Ángeles González-Sinde

FEVER AT DAWN

Segovia 2016, 

Renowned Hungarian filmmaker and writer Péter Gárdos presents his novel Fever at Dawn, a major publishing event in 30 countries that tells the deeply moving true story of the letters between his parents. It's one of the great romantic novels of our time. In 1945, Miklos arrives at a refugee camp in Sweden. He has just a few months to live, but he writes to the 117 young Hungarian women who live in another camp, determined to find himself a wife. Gárdos is interviewed by the writer and filmmaker Ángeles González-Sinde.
