This film is a tribute to a humiliated and destroyed nation. "As Long as the Grass Grows" is an alternative, ancient and humble creation story, where man is not the crown of the creation, but the weakest of all creatures. The film takes us back to the beginning of time, where Old Man begins to create the world out of a handful of mud. Everything he creates is new and nameless, and affects the rest of the world. Even feelings and desires are unknown and when they emerge, the world becomes more and more complicated.

Aspiring director Kishorváth seeks approval for his debut film, based on his grandfather’s odd ’60s protest: he and friends formed a “Danube Indians” tribe, donned moccasins and withdrew from society under strict moral codes. In the paranoia after ’56, the group’s strange weapons, secretive speech and ties to Americans draw government suspicion. When a censor on the approval board, whose own family was involved, challenges the tale, Kishorváth digs deeper into his grandfather’s true story.

"What can happen between a man and a woman? Everything. Anything. Anything from passion to indifference. Can you sum it all up in one concert? Yes. At least, that's what four excellent actors (two women and two men) and an excellent score are trying to do. The lyrics are not the least of it." Passing through, Listen a little! Two albums from the 80s, both legends since then. Dorottya Udvaros sings about Hóesés, The Vainly Beautiful Girl, Stripping, passionate duets by Juli Básti and György Cserhalmi, like Játszótársak or Ten Little Scapegoats. These songs have rarely or never been performed in concert. János Kulka has also sung Dés songs on record. After more than twenty years, the Big Team is finally getting together and will present this special performance on a national concert tour, with musical direction by László Dés and direction by Géza Bereményi. The composer duo Dés-Bereményi have also written new songs for the four actors for the occasion.

Hungarian-born Laszlo Szabo returned to his native country to play the part of Dibusz in this comedy. When the residents of a large old house learn that it is to be torn down and that they will be relocated elsewhere, an intense game gets underway. As is usual in such instances, the residents will be given new apartments commensurate in size with their old ones. Dibusz sees this as an opportunity to temporarily enlarge his "assigned" space in the condemned building. He wants to be reassigned to an apartment which is larger than his current bathless one-room space. He and a neighbor cooperate to break down the walls that separate their spaces from that of an old woman who just died after a brief tussle. Still not satisfied, he tries to marry one of two spinster women who live together but is rejected. In the course of the film, he has intense encounters of one sort or another with anyone who might be of help to him in his quest.
