This acclaimed, multiple-award-winning film centers around a group of
young people who meet in a rock pub in Budapest in the summer of
1989 during Hungary's fleeting celebration of Communism's fall.
This Pynchonesque crew includes two goofy Russian musicians,
an engineer who has been reduced to selling kitchen knives, and two
girlfriends, English and American, in search of action. After the fun and
romance, they must move on, as the mafia and the onset of new
nationalist chaos closes in.
