Retrospective
“It’s all over.” The worst possible fate for opponents of the regime, underlaid by a reference to “The Unkown Soldier” by The Doors. Radically simple and maximally impressive.

Retrospective
Loneliness and threat, translated into surreal images in which the oppressive Hungarian reality of life under communism in the 1980s allegorically meets the 1956 uprising.

Retrospective
The suppression of the 1956 Hungarian Uprising from the point of view of those affected. Dramatic material and an urgent appeal which the filmmakers could only complete abroad.
