A typical apartment building in Budapest and their residents from the aspect of a young boy playing football sometime in the end of the 1980s at the time of the change of regime in Eastern Europe. Is there a way out from here? A geometrical paradox and a political parable at the same time.

The inspiration for the film was a four-line poem written by the late János Pilinszky (1921-1981), an outstanding figure of contemporary Hungarian poetry. Focusing on artistic portrayals of the Holy Virgin, photographic and animation media are combined to capture an atmosphere and convey a lyrical sentiment by means of the continually changing spectacle.

Five hundred years ago, the famous rhinoceros which, through an engraving made by Albrecht Dürer, became perhaps the most famous animal in the history of Western art took its first steps on European soil. The brief period between the rhinoceros’ arrival in Lisbon in May 1515 and its death in January 1516 is surprisingly well documented. This film, which is a mix of fact and fiction, tells the story of his fate, tales that were told about it, the political machinations in Europe at the time. It could be characterized as an animated documentary legend.

Playful experimental animation on illusion, geometry, Escher and the micro/macro cosmos.
