Sinopse
In the night of the 18th of February 2009, 19-year-old prostitute Betty Szabó was brutally murdered in her room in the Red Light District of Amsterdam. The film follows the trail back to Betty’s birthplace Nyíregyháza in Hungary, where the contours of her existence slowly start to take shape, as people from her past relay their memories about her. Dirty Window explicitly chooses not to focus on the unsolved crime, but on the life Betty lived. Director Walter Stokman wants to find out who she was, where she came from and what her dreams were. We go back to Betty’s birthplace in Hungary and amongst others, we meet Betty’s father, who has been living in dire circumstances since his separation from Betty’s mother, her former music teacher and one of her friends who also worked as a prostitute in Amsterdam, but who moved back to Nyíregyháza to be with her children.
