When Ágoston, a Hungarian Slovak working in a nuclear power station, is suddenly laid off, he decides to travel north to a Baltic seaport in quest of work. This is just the beginning of an odyssey through the coarse and absurd world of the post-communist East, in which Ágoston must face any number of prejudices against foreigners, a round of naked beer, an encounter with an obtrusive animal rights activist, a stuffed earless bunny and an impulsive Russian with a disastrously operated “superwoman” of a wife. But all Ágoston was actuallly looking for was to catch a fish… Director Gyorgy Kristof ‘s debut feature is a quiet yet vivid road movie full of spectacular landscape photography and outlandish encounters.
