Toxikoma

Director: 
Gábor Herendi

Based on the bestselling memoir by actor Győző Szabó, Toxikoma tells the intense, real-life story of a man struggling with drug addiction and his turbulent relationship with psychiatrist Dr. Imre Csernus. Directed by Gábor Herendi and produced by Skyfilm, the film offers a raw, unfiltered look at ego, control, and the painful road to redemption. It’s a story about self-destruction, honesty, and ultimately, survival.

‍

Premiering in 2021, Toxikoma became one of Hungary’s most talked-about films of the year, reaching over 100,000 cinema viewers and maintaining a top spot at the Hungarian box office for weeks. Praised for its powerful performances and cinematic authenticity, the film continues to spark conversation about mental health and addiction. We at Skyfilm are proud to have brought this important story to life — one that confronts darkness with courage, empathy, and heart.
