The film follows 14‑year‑old György Köves as he’s torn from a brickyard and plunged into the brutal world of Buchenwald, a journey rendered in alternating sepia, black‑and‑white and color that tracks the loss of innocence, the struggle to preserve dignity, and the hard lessons of hatred and survival. Imre Kertész is a Nobel Prize laureate, and the story’s weighty provenance shows on screen; below, we check whether Fateless is currently streaming on Netflix, Disney+, Prime Video or Apple TV+, and what to expect from the available editions.
Synopsis
Fourteen-year-old György Köves, the merchant’s son from Hungary, is swept into the machinery of World War II: first consigned to forced labor, then brought to Buchenwald. Left without his father, he finds work at a brickyard until the transport carrying him and other Jewish passengers is halted and they are sent to the camps. Inside, György confronts solidarity and tenderness alongside relentless cruelty, sickness and loss. Older inmates offer him hard-won lessons on maintaining dignity and self-respect amid dehumanization, even as he encounters the depths of hatred. If he survives and returns to Budapest, what will remain of him? Which instincts are natural, and what does it now mean to be Jewish? The film’s palette shifts between sepia, black-and-white and color to reflect its changing moods.
