About A kenyereslány balladája
The main character of our story is János, 18 years old in 1944, preparing for his final exams. In March, the Germans occupy the country, and the exams are moved forward — some even have to take them wearing the yellow star. Meanwhile, at the Parliament Café, he is training to be an assistant firefighter and meets one of the bread girls, Nusi.
Directed by Czabán György, György Pálos, A kenyereslány balladája leans on a strong ensemble — János Herskó — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about screen titles of 1996.
