The Sword

The satiric film is a dramatic-ironic picture of the Hungarian intellectuals in the seventies. Ebes, whose art has been awarded for its merits conglomerating folk features with modernity, can hardly believe that from his parents, old friends, and the sons of the people he did not even receive a telegram of congratulation.

The pseudo crime story honours the bohemian world at the beginning of the century.

The film brings to life the stars of cinema of yesteryear, heart-wrenchingly poignant or even comic scenes, and in the shades that emerge, worlds are built and collapsed. The cinema auditorium, the auditorium, the ground floor, the hotel room, are the setting for special atmospheres.

A barber goes for a walk on an average Sunday morning, and end up winning an other guy's wife on card.
