Hungarian writer-director Nóra Lakos, whose previous feature Cream played EUFF 2021, returns to the festival with a whimsical coming-of-age film about a young writer navigating girlhood and personal loss. Twelve-year-old Nina (Villõ Demeter) is a storyteller. Under the mentorship of a bohemian novelist next door, she starts to translate her life into prose—the nuisances of a little brother, the pains of growing up, the giddiness of first love. Gradually her writing leads to questions about her family and unresolved emotions around her mother’s death long ago. Using flourishes of animation to articulate Nina’s effervescent imagination, I Accidentally Wrote a Book celebrates the magic of creativity to heal and help discover oneself.
