From the pen of famed Hungarian novelist Peter Eszterhazy comes this erotic tale of passion and betrayal. Lili, a young gypsy girl, falls madly in love with a dashing salesman who introduces her to life’s sensual pleasures. When Lili discovers he is engaged to another, her life begins to spiral downward into unending sexual liaisons and an unsatisfying marriage. Eszterhazy wrote the novel under the pseudonym Lili Csokonai--the main character--so the story unfolds through her eyes, like an autobiography.

In this haunting drama of alienation and loneliness, the Witman brothers are scarred for life by the neglect of their mother. They search for human warmth and meaning in their lives, but they search in the wrong places-including the local brothel. They may look innocent on the surface, but ultimately they are driven to despicable deeds. In Hungarian with English subtitles.

Woyzeck
(Woyzeck)

Georg Buchner would turn 180 this year. He was not immortal,
but his drama, Woyzeck, survived all the shocks of the past

How far can we got with this experiment? To infinity!
WOYZECK - WOZZEK - VOJCEK - only the name changes,
but the world is eternal, the salvation, the rest is so remote,
so out of reach. The little man forced out on the periphery of
the huge railway station: Woyzeck - a speck of dust of a man,
