56 Drops of Blood (2007)

1956 год. Ученики выпускного класса Тео и Курт живут в Сталинштадте — новом сталелитейном образцовом городке Восточной Германии. Во время вылазки в кинотеатр в Западном Берлине старшеклассники увидели в очередном выпуске кинохроники драматичные кадры венгерского восстания в Будапеште. По возвращении в родной городок парни подбивают весь класс пойти тайком послушать западные новости про Будапешт — на отшибе, у одинокого старичка с радиоприемником. Борьба венгров за независимость и жестокость, с которой их восстание было подавлено советскими войсками, вызывают в душах юных школьников протест.

Andras Pulac, a young pianist, refuses to perform a concert in honor of a senior Soviet leader, as a sign of rebellion against the 1956 invasion of Hungary. His refusal, although he does not know it, harms the organizers of a demonstration against the communist cruelty, since his concert had been chosen like slogan. When Pulac finds out, he agrees to give the concert. Andras and Maria Kondor, the daughter of a communist journalist, are in love and decide to get married before the concert. Meanwhile, communist repression in the streets provokes the anger of the Hungarian people and gives rise to a real revolution.
