I did not expect too much from this movie and it was a very nice surprise. It is a simple and satirical story based on a theatre play, which you can still check out in Katona József Színház if you happen to speak Hungarian. The scene is a small village in the backyard of Hungary, where rarely happen things. Not much (and nothing unexpected) happens in the story either, but the acting sells the movie. Although most of the actors are rather unkown even in Hungary (except Ági Szirtes, who plays an alcohol-addict housewife and was praised by the critics) most of them perform extremely well.
