Overview

This compelling documentary explores the multifaceted identity of the Hungarian man—a question that, despite its apparent simplicity, has sparked a wide array of opinions in Hungary, a country that once embraced internationalism with open arms.

Through rare retro footages from Hungarian television, the film presents diverse perspectives from different sectors of society. Housewives depict him as tired and uncommunicative, disengaged from household tasks; doctors describe him as overweight, suffering from diabetes, and prone to complaints; foreigners remark on his mustached appearance and language barriers; and the ecclesiastical circles even suggest a capitalist penchant for indulgence. Meanwhile, journalists and documentarians label him as immeasurably lazy.

This thought-provoking portrait, featuring visuals from the 1960s and 1970s, invites viewers to reflect on the stereotypes and realities that have shaped the Hungarian identity over decades.

Hungarian Translation - Overview (Áttekintés)

Ez a megkapó dokumentumfilm a magyar férfi sokrétű személyiségét vizsgálja – egy olyan kérdést, amely bár egyszerűnek tűnik, mégis rendkívül változatos véleményeket váltott ki Magyarországon, az internacionalizmust hirdető országban.

A magyar televízióból származó ritka retro felvételeken keresztül a film bemutatja a társadalom különböző rétegeinek véleményét. A háziasszonyok fáradtnak és szótlannak tartják, aki az otthoni munkában sem vesz részt; az orvosok elhízottnak, cukorbajjal küzdőnek és folyamatos panaszkodónak jellemzik; a külföldiek bajuszosnak és nyelvi korlátokkal küzdőnek; míg a püspöki kar kapitalista módon élvhajhásznak véli. Az újságírók és dokumentumfilmesek pedig mérhetetlenül lusta embernek tartják.

Ezzel a gondolatébresztő portréval, amely a 60-as és 70-es évek életképeit mutatja be, a nézőket arra hívja, hogy gondolkodjanak el a magyar identitást formáló sztereotípiákról és valóságokról.
