This European Film Award winner documentary tells the story of Recsk, Hungary's most notorious political prison camp, which operated between 1950 and 1953. During the early 1950's the very existence of this camp for political prisoners at Recsk was one of the Hungarian communist regime's deepest secrets. Hundreds of people were taken there without ever actually being sentenced by any court, and had to suffer through the brutal treatment handed down by their sadistic captors. This documentary tells the story of Recsk from both the captors' and the prisoners' point of view, capturing the atmosphere of paranoia, humiliation and degradation that prevailed throughout the Stalinist gulag system.

Первая мировая война, 1918 год. В маленький гарнизон, расположенный в венгерской провинции, прибывает новый офицер-австриец – обер-лейтенант фон Ногай, служака, фанатик и садист, люто ненавидящий солдат, особенно если они по национальности – «всякого рода славянское быдло». Фон Ногай устраивает своим «политически неблагонадежным» подчиненным тяжелые «ночные учения», заставляет часами репетировать гимн империи, избивает своего ординарца. В конце концов обер-лейтенант получает решительный отпор от солдат роты, которые ставят своего командира в неудобное, комичное положение. А потом несколько отчаянных друзей – поляк Каня, итальянец Бальдини, еврей Хабер, чех Худэй и венгр Бенедек – решаются на побег из роты и погружаются в буйный угар алкогольно-сексуальных приключений, путешествуя по городам и странам Центральной Европы.

The seeming hopelessness of combatting an all-powerful government that will not tolerate political dissension is the focus of this excellent historical drama set in the mid-19th century in Hungary. In the opening scenes, Hungary has just lost its bid for independence from Austria and a Magyar officer, unable to bear the tragedy of defeat and what it means, says an affectionate good-bye to his beloved horse and then shoots the animal and himself. Two years later, Ferenc (Gyorgy Cserhalmi) is trying to eke out a living for his wife and her family -- and at the same time avoid any hint of sympathy for Hungarian independence because the Secret Police are everywhere. Just as life seems to be going well, Ferenc's former commanding officer (Lajos Oze) arrives and begins discussing revolution again -- a futile pursuit at this point in time. The next day, Ferenc is thrown into an insane asylum and everyone else is arrested as well.
