If you only mention the title Fehérlófia (Son of the White Mare) to a Hungarian, they will likely start listing the familiar characters in their head: Fanyűvő, Kőmorzsoló, Vasgyúró, and of course the delightfully named Hétszűnyű Kapanyányimonyók. But who are these mysterious figures, whose names speak to the child inside us all? Marcell Jankovics offers two answers to this question. The first comes from the fundamental characters of Hun, Avar and Hungarian mythology, whose struggles we have passed down over the centuries from generation to generation. They also accompany us on an even more profound, dreamlike, cosmic journey that reveals the eternal questions of mankind.

In Hungarian, without subtitles

The discussions before and after the screening will be conducted in Hungarian.
