In the year 80 AMM (After Mickey Mouse) on the anthropomorphic animal-controlled Planet X, a party of mafioso cats plot to enact a genocide against the mouse population of the world. Mouse scientist Professor Fushimishi seems to have found the weapon against the threat to his people's lives and calls Intermouse, who then call its best (albeit retired) agent, Nick Grabowsky, to get the plans, and as a distraction, they send a second agent - Sergeant Lazy Dick - for the mission.

Pom Pom meséi poster
8.0

"Who is Pom Pom? How come you don't know me? Hoo! Nobody really knows me, because sometimes I'm like this, sometimes I'm like that. I can change my shape amazingly: if I want, I am like a fur patch, or a wig, or one-finger fur gloves turned inside out, or a room-painting scrub, or a cotton tassel on the toe of a slipper. Now I look most like a fur hat, sitting on the branch, a nice long branch, up-heh-heh-heh, down-heh-heh-heh, as a breeze sways the branch..."

Beszterce ostroma poster
NR

István Pongrácz, lord of the castle of Nedec, is a strange man. He does not like his own time, so he imagines himself as a medieval lord of the castle. His surroundings also accept his whimsy, and in this way they give him a horse to ride. Like centuries before, he launches a campaign against the disobedient city of Banská Štiavnica. In their great embarrassment, the serious city fathers offer the haughty warlord a ‘hostage’: Apolka, the city’s orphan. Her presence changes Count Pongrácz, who grows fond of the beautiful and innocent creature. But Apolka’s heart belongs to another.

Glória poster

A TV movie version of István Örkény's short novel. The fate of Sister Glória, or Ilona Tarr, who has lived in a convent since her childhood, in the historical situation after 1948, when the nuns' orders were dissolved in our country. The film presents the reality of this extraordinary fate with lyrical beauty. At the age of 26, Gloria is taken out of the closed and safe world of the convent - both spiritual and everyday - and into a changing reality with shifting values. In the course of conflicts, while maintaining her individuality and integrity, she finally finds her place among everyday people.

Oh, Bloody Life poster

The Hungarian Oh, Bloody Life reflects on the heavy emotional toll taken by the repressive Stalin regime. Dorotya Udvaros plays a young actress from a high-born family. The government bias against persons of wealth threatens to destroy her career before it begins. As a final blow, she is threatened with deportation.

The story of the film with a touch of journalistic atmosphere takes place in the autumn 1919 after the fall of the proletarian dictatorship. The main figure is Zilahy Kálmán, a high-school teacher, very much attracted to Ady's ideology. He is, at the same time, a rational minded sober character keeping a certain distance from the chaotic events. During the first months of the terror of the Whites, he takes a stand for his persecuted colleague, and with his wife's help, he hides Pálos, a Communist commissar in his flat.

In modern Hungary, con artist Bender Oszkár and his motley crew - Barangó and a band of small-time schemers - embark on a series of outrageous scams to track down an “illegal” millionaire and seize ten million for themselves. As they exploit every trick in the book - fake charities, crooked roulette tables, forged documents - their madcap pursuit of easy riches exposes the absurdities and corruptions of contemporary life, with Bender’s fate hanging on whether his “great maneuver” will pay off or blow up in his face.

The elderly Mikola Menyhért, former imperial and royal master detective, talks about the great criminals of a bygone era on television. He considers Ignác Sztrasznov to be the uncrowned king of swindlers, the greatest swindler of the Monarchy. To describe him, suffice it to say that at the age of 23, he sold the entire Vérmező to a Bulgarian horticulturalist, swindled money from lords, industrialists, and businessmen while dressed in a smart military uniform, and did not spare even the higher circles of the church. Mikola's narration brings Strasznov's adventures to life.
