Batman of Budapest

Batman of Budapest

2018 · 13 min · Documentary

Krisztián, 36, lives with his mother and is currently unemployed. At night, however, he takes to the streets in a homemade bat costume, patrolling pubs and nightclubs and helping anyone in trouble. He confronts drug abuse, violence and injustice, looking out for homeless people, troubled citizens and drunken youngsters. His unusual appearance is often enough to defuse a situation — and when it isn’t, he calls the police.
