Overview:

Deux Mi-Temps en Enfer (Két Félido a Pokolban) is a gripping 1961 Hungarian drama directed by Zoltán Fábri. Set in the spring of 1944, this powerful film unfolds in a German labor camp in Ukraine. Nazi officers, in preparation for Hitler's birthday, organize a football match between German soldiers and the camp's prisoners.

The story follows Onodi, a celebrated Hungarian footballer and prisoner, who is coerced into forming a team under strict conditions, including the exclusion of Jewish inmates. As the match begins, the stakes rise, culminating in an unexpected and poignant conclusion.

This masterpiece, which inspired John Huston's Victory, is lauded for its intense dramaturgy and exceptional quality. Restored for modern audiences, Deux Mi-Temps en Enfer stands as a testament to human resilience and the moral complexities of war.
