Never miss a satire if you'd like to have a wider view of the 60's or 70's (and maybe the 80's) Eastern Europe. Both the regime and behavior of people are pilloried, with many-many hints that show deeper details of the correlation of the two. And the creators didn't miss to have some words about the West and it's part of this history. But don't sit down to see the film if you'd like to have a light funny evening movie, 'cause that will lash up your feelings alright. The director is that same Peter Bacso, who directed the legendary satire 'A tanu' (The witness) which deals with the same historical era, the same relations between politics and the people, just from a little different point of view.

The construction vocational school holds a name-giving ceremony, thus calling the attention of its supervisory organ to itself.

The results are devastating, which the despotic school-master attempts to conceal by a staged disciplinary procedure.

When Hungary's newest prime minister is shot and killed at a reception, the resulting investigation is necessarily swift and comprehensive. This compelling political thriller uncovers two prime suspects: the woman who guns the leader down, and a man who was friends with both the prime minister and his murderer. Using video surveillance footage, as well as other more artful and symbolic imagery, the noted "visualist" director Miklos Jancso, who is known for his craft in getting his points across non-verbally, combines fantasy and reality in a highly ironic manner.

Via the New York Times: "The Hungarian director Gyula Gazdag has transposed the middle section of Balzac's "Lost Illusions" from Paris in the mid-19th century to the Budapest of 1968... it tells of Laszlo Sardi - Balzac's Lucien Chardon - and his efforts to launch his literary career amid the snobbery and sophistication of a big city."

A new National Theatre is built, and the director hires a famous Danish director for the premiere performance. The actors rehearse, the tractor and the construction workers work on the almost finished building. Everything seems to be on track, including the train, unfortunately, on the siding of the bridge next to the theatre. It's a little too loud and it's echoing into the main hall, so rehearsals are squeezed into a room that isn't very big. Bridge cushions are coming, even though it's cold and a bit like Christmas, but most importantly, the art is happening and the lead actress is indeed a queen. She falls in love with her partner and destroys him at the end of the performance. The role takes shape, only sometimes it is eerily similar to the real life of the artists. Will they live to see the premiere?
