The White King (film)

The film follows Djata (Lorenzo Allchurch), a 12-year-old boy growing up in a dystopian dictatorship called Homeland, without access to the rest of the world. His father, Peter (Ross Partridge), tells him of the true nature of Homeland as well as treasure guarded by a man named Pickaxe (Ólafur Darri Ólafsson). Peter is later taken away by two government agents, leading to he and his mother Hannah (Agyness Deyn) being labeled traitors by the government and the citizenry alike as Djata works to discover the whereabouts of his father."The White King" diadaptasi dari novel Hungaria terbitan tahun 2008 dengan judul yang sama, karya György Dragomán. Film ini disutradarai dan sekaligus ditulis skenarionya oleh Alex Helfrecht dan Jörg Tittel, dengan mengambil gambar di Hungaria dimulai pada bulan Juni 2015 sebagai Pengambilan gambar utama, dengan menampilkan bekas Markas Angkatan Udara Soviet. Helfrecht tertarik dengan buku ketika dia sedang bekerja di London dan menjadi sangat emosional setelah membaca beberapa halaman saja.
