Focus Country - Hungary. Zoltán Fábri Retrospective. Magyarok ​/ Hungarians

Synopsis

The film follows a group of landless Hungarian peasants who leave their home village to work as migrant labourers on a large farm in northern Germany. Though the wages are good and they are initially sheltered from the front lines, they become uncomprehending witnesses to the atrocities committed by the German army against POWs and civilians. As the war draws to a close, they choose to return to Hungary, only to be swept up in the final, violent tides of the conflict.
