Iván Siklósi

When Lajos Molnár loses his job and his love his friends tell him that a recently deceased Argentinian relative left millions to him.

The focus of the story is on the relation between the femme fatale and an escaped prisoner, who manages to save himself from the clutches of the vamp in the very last minute (no spoiler, the end of the film is missing!). A dream reveals to him the real nature of duchess Leda Orlonia/geisha/marchesa Rochefou, and he decides to leave the ‘woman with the many names’ for a kind-hearted and decent American girl.

Inspired by a poem by Antal Farkas and tribute to socialist leader Bela Kun. The film is about a family waiting for a brother to return from a revolutionary war.

Today and Tomorrow (Hungarian: Ma és holnap) is a 1912 film directed by Michael Curtiz and starring Gyula Abonyi and Jenőné Veszprémy.
