Köves graduated from the University of Applied Arts (MOME) http://www.mome.hu/ . His debut feature is a depressing domestic thriller between detective father and the junkee-pregnant daughter.
The budget of the film is HUF 60 million, with some of the cast and crew being paid from the commercial income of the film -- an unusual arrangement in Hungary. The shooting lasted for 17 days. The two main characters are played by two mainstream actors (András Kern and Kata Dobó) never previously seen in a dark production like this.
The film received a grant from MMKA. The production company was the Filmpartners (/www.filmpartners.hu), Co-production partners were MTM-SBS Televízó ZRt. TV2 (www.tv2.hu), Sparks Kft., and Sysplex (www.sysplex.hu). The Deathwaltz was already released in cinemas, but the box office results were disappointing.
