Would you rather be a tyrant or his victim? Accidentally, characters start this conversation. Soon, they will have to choose their roles for real.
Seemingly boring typical evening in a bar turns wrong with the sudden arrival of the Arrow Cross (Hungarian gestapo). Our heroes are a typical mix of ordinary people with no interest in big (war) events. But someone's overheard their apparent antipathy for the regime and now they will have to prove on which side they are.
Perfect play, almost a piece de theatre. Forces you to think from the first time the difficult question is asked. Then, scene-by-scene gets better and better until the end. Stays in your head for long. Could be easily interpreted as a hidden criticism of the communist regime back in 70's. Absolutely timeless and always actual. A masterpiece.
