Budapeşte metrosunun karanlık dehlizlerini mekân tutan "Kontrol", bir grup bilet kontrolörünün yeraltında yaşadığı olaylara kara komedi türünde odaklanıyor.

Luc Besson’un Metro’sundaki koreografiyi hatırlatan tavrıyla muhtelif insan portrelerine yer veren filmde, ortam yine alternatif bir yaşam ünitesi olarak sahneleniyor. Lakin esas mevzu, sembolize ettiği üzere, “araf” misali bir yerden bir yere geçiş hali, platformu olması. Bu ilk uzun metraj filmiyle ülkesinde gişe başarısı da yakalayan 30 yaşındaki Macar yönetmen Nimród Antal’ın derdi açık; kaos çivisi çıkmış dünyamızın, yeryüzünün sembolik bir resmini çizmek.
