The film evokes the era of the 1831 cholera epidemic and the peasant uprising which followed it. The way of Doctor Balás, cholera commissioner, and district administrator Hunyor leads through the mountains of Zemplén and is lined by unburied corpses, peasants dying of the illness and of overdoses of bismuth, by the miserably starving population, the healthy digging mass-graves and by uncultivated lands.

Pizzaman poster

An eclectic, quasi-surreal city road movie about two unspoken lovers who cruise a ’68 Mustang through a dreamscape of pizza joints, art-deco skyscrapers, eclipsed suns, surf beaches and palm-fringed oceans, where red neon, hi-techno beats and old-school surf-punk collide. Drawing on Gen X daydreams, it’s a playful, sun-lit comedy of friendship, desire and neon-tinged visions that rides straight into a feel-good happy end.
