Conductor
The wealthy Argan ‘enjoys’ poor health. Even though his daughter is in love with another man, he wants to marry her off to a medical dunce who can secure a lifetime of medical care for his father-in-law. A fake death scene finally teaches Argan where to put his trust. Following the success of his previous works, this is the fourth opera by János Vajda to be staged at the Hungarian State Opera. Based on both Moliere's Le malade imaginaire and Mikhail Bulgakov's play about the French playwright, Vajda's new opera incorporates Moliere's life story, giving bass-baritone András Hábetler the rare opportunity to play the dual roles of Argan and Moliere.

Balog Mihály, the Gypsy man from Szabolcs works in Budapest. That is where he is notified that his young wife died. Again he behaves differently from his fellow-men in the Koportos Gypsy settlement: he wants to give a beautiful, rich burial ceremony to his wife.
A nemzeti hadsereg tisztje
This film describes the narrator's childhood, the years before and after the Hungarian Soviet Republic, in a burlesque and fabulous style and with the humour of a child's fantasy.
The dramatically dense film takes place in workers' surrounding in the sixties. It raises the newspaper article serving as the basis for the short story to be a model: in a plastic factory fire breaks out causing enormous damages.
15 марта 1848 года в Пеште вспыхнула революция. Однако среди восставших есть и информатор императора. Большое место занимает в фильме Шандор Петефи — замечательный народный поэт-революционер, не только пером, но и с оружием в руках отстаивавший свободу родины, и его друг генерал Бэм — польский революционер, боровшийся против общих врагов венгерского и польского народа — династии Габсбургов. Монументальная кинокартина увековечивает память знаменитых и анонимных героев войны за независимость.
