A bachelor party goes wrong, and the only decent man becomes the town pariah. Sound familiar?
The events of the story take place in the outskirts of working class people in the early nineteen fifties. Makra, a skilled worker in a factory, suddenly comes to close quarters with everything around him because his environment condemns and ridicules him for protecting a woman when his drunk fellows were going to rape her after his bachelor party.
Acting
Juhász Jácint's simmering silence speaks volumes.
Direction
Rényi traps you in claustrophobic 1950s Hungary.
Writing
No heroes, no villains — just cowards and consequences.
Director
Tamás Rényi
Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Made during Hungary's 'soft censorship' era — socialist realism demanded worker heroes, so Rényi smuggled in a worker destroyed by workers.
The bachelor party setting is deliberate: Makra's 'last night of freedom' becomes his first night of imprisonment by society.
