Tal como Light Physical Injuries, O Fura-paredes explora o machismo compensatório da classe dirigente oficial da Hungria. Filme mais badalado e problemático de Szomjas, conta a triste história de um proletário descontente abrigado num conjunto habitacional monstruosamente deprimente que -ainda menos eficaz do que os heróis da Calvo-Dog Rock- tentam mudar a sua vida. A compra de um berbequim atirandopara trás das costas como o anti-herói de um western spaghetti, ele torna-se empresário, abrindo furos nas paredes de seus vizinhos para que eles possam pendurar espelhos ou quadros. A metáfora é utilizada com o máximo de insinuação aduladora, especialmente quando o perfurador se imiscui com o cabecilha de uma rede de prostituição local, composta principalmente por mulheres em licença de maternidade.
