The film "January 2" is a road movie portraying a day from a woman's point of view, similar to the previous film "One Day."
Unlike "One Day," which spans an entire day, "January 2" focuses on a single day from an observer’s perspective, specifically from the viewpoint of a friend named Ági, as her friends Klára and Áron are going through a divorce.
The director emphasizes the importance of having a clear perspective when narrating events. Without a clear point of view, it is challenging to tell the story effectively. The events in the film are depicted as they appear from the character’s perspective, showing a connection between the situation in the story and the character's personal experiences.
