I saw this film and was amazed to learn afterwards that this is the first film of director Bence Miklauzic. Not a bad start... In an interview he says there is no way in between commercial entertaining movie and art movie in Hungarian cinema today. He still tried to find one, not unsuccessfully, I think. This film shows another side of Budapest, this crazy city, it's good to think about sometimes how strange life can be here. The actors are excellent, mainly not well-known theatre actors.

Sandor (Gyorgy Gazso) is a middle-aged office worker who is fired from his job. He decides to start a whole new life, and takes off in his car with caravan attached, headed for the Adriatic coast. He hasn't got very far when he is pulled over by police and is booked, unjustly, for drunk driving. Things only seem to get worse for Sandor as he falls in and out of various comedic situations, including one where he befriends a youth who painted graffiti all over Sandor's caravan while he was held up at the police station. Sandor decides he prefers his caravan that way. This film also stars Eszter Marko and Peter Laszlo and was directed by Bence Miklauzik. (In Hungarian, English subtitles)
