In this unique documentary, Tough Girls, we can follow the lives of 7 to 36-year-old female boxers. They are on a roller coaster swinging between emotions and brutal physical fight when the question appears why they pursue such manly sports? Is all the pain, injuries, and shame worth it? The answer is more complex than one would think.
Budapest, Hungría, Navidad de 1957. El Estado, inseguro después del fracaso de la revolución de 1956 y sometido cada vez más a la influencia de una renovada atmósfera estalinista, ha decretado que todos los oficiales de seguridad deben pasar un examen para verificar su lealtad. Pero para ser realmente efectivo en un mundo sombrío donde reinan la sospecha y los secretos, los sujetos deben ignorar que están siendo probados.
Karcsi, a Roma policeman, lives with Eva, a Swede. One day he is called to the scene of the murder of a wealthy trafficker named Schulter. He begins to investigate the crime, interrogate neighbours and suspects, and untangle a complex situation - one that he, himself, complicates even further. For he is a gypsy, who despite being adopted and raised by "regular" Hungarians, has his nose rubbed in his minority status every day. The film, which is based on the novel by Ákos Kertész, is a shrewd genre work full of dusky humour and surreal situations. Tabló follows a vivid succession of strange images that eventually lead to the emergence of the central story about a charismatic police officer on a tireless quest for the truth, though he must fight against virtually everyone and is just as fallible as the next person. Tabló makes a statement on the issue of race and racism - or, indeed, relations between any minority and majority.
