Growing up in Hungary, István is a quiet teenager whose encounter with an older woman sets his life on an unexpected course. In the years that follow, he moves through military service, migration and work, eventually entering the privileged world of London’s wealthy elite.
As his circumstances change, desire, money and chance draw him into relationships and situations he struggles to understand or control.
Spare and unsettling, Flesh follows a man carried between radically different worlds, exploring masculinity, class and the distance between what we experience and what we can put into words.
