Satantango poster
Movie

Inhabitants of a small village in Hungary deal with the effects of the fall of Communism. The town's source of revenue, a factory, has closed, and the locals, who include a doctor and three couples, await a cash payment offered in the wake of the shuttering. Irimias, a villager thought to be dead, returns and, unbeknownst to the locals, is a police informant. In a scheme, he persuades the villagers to form a commune with him.

Where Were You, My Son? poster
Movie

Set in a large apartment in Hungary during the death throes of communism, obedient Andor lives with his eccentric mother, Rebeka, a once-celebrated stage actress-turned-recluse. After years of coexisting in a love-hate relationship marked by routine and possible incest, Andor brings home Eszter, a beautiful girl his own age. Her advances awaken Andor's repressed desires, the depths of which prove shocking. Opera director Robert Alfoldi renders this bizarre story in a melodramatic style, and veteran Hungarian stage star Dorottya Udvaros rises to the occasion. If you can imagine the intersecting area on a Venn diagram that includes Taxidermia and Sunset Blvd., that's where Where Were You, My Son? was born. The original title, Nyugalom, which translates to Tranquility, is ironic to say the least. ...over the-top...memorable...thunderous...sex and violins (Variety).

Pityke poster
Movie

The cartoon series stars Sergeant Dandy, who solves crimes, catches crooks, burglars and thieves like a determined policeman. Dandelion's friends are Peekaboo, Blondie, Kati, and his dog, Marzipan, who also "acts as a siren". With our heroes, you can take part in the discovery of a cave, the capture of a bank robber, the chase of a dangerous conman who deceives people in various costumes and masks, but he can't catch Dandelion. If you watch the series, you'll find out how different manoeuvres can be used to keep children from jumping off the top of a crane. The series also has adventures for the summer, for beachgoers whose clothes have been stolen by a thief and which are of course recovered with the help of our protagonist. And in the episode "Dandy's Day Off", the series draws attention to the dangers of hiring hitchhikers.

A hiba nem az almában van poster
Movie

The relationship between a man and a woman is an evergreen subject, the subject of countless tragedies and comedies. This programme tells hilarious stories, most of which are very much of today, but which go back to the Garden of Eden: if men had not written the story of creation, would Eve have been the cause of the "Fall"? The debate is indecisive, since women and men always look for the fault in each other and not in themselves. The fault is never in the "apple". And Adam and Eve always eat the apple together.

A gyáva poster
Movie

The heroine of the TV movie based on Imre Sarkadi's short novel is a coward to accept the duties, struggles and struggles of everyday life. Giving up her desires and plans, she floats aimlessly in her luxurious surroundings, in the hated company of the famous artist husband. His willpower is only for pointless heroics. He is incapable even of the sincere and profound love that gives hope of a meaningful and happy life.
