Hungarian director reported for "depraved scene"

A civil organization called Alliance for Morality Committee (Szövetség a Tisztességért Bizottság) has filed a report to the prosecutor's office against director Róbert Alföldi over a scene in his feature film "Nyugalom" (Calm).

The scene in question ends with an 8-10-year-old boy massaging and washing his mother's feet before moving his hand towards her underwear, suggesting a sexual relationship between mother and son.

Alföldi declined to comment, but the film's producer István Bodzsár said he found nothing objectionable in the scene, nor did the boy's parents before, during or after the shoot, at which the young actor's mother was present.
