Storyline
When young Tako's father dies in Hungary in 1945, Tako is left with scant memories of him. Nurtured by his mother, the boy nonetheless fantasizes about the man his father was, imagining him to have been a hero. Grown into a man himself, Tako (Andras Balint) falls for a Jewish refugee, Anni (Kati Solyom). Burdened by her own heritage as a Jew, Anni sparks in Tako a desire to find out what his father was really like, and he delves into the role his father played in World War II.

Short Review
When it's good, though, Szabo's film is very good indeed.
