Magyarok![]() (Hungarians) Hungary (1978): Drama
A group of landless Hungarian peasants accept work as migrant-laborers on a farm in northern Germany where the wages are good, and their wives and families are allowed to accompany them. Though it is in the midst of World War II, they are relatively well-off. However, they glimpse the treatment accorded to POWs and others who are not so gently treated, and at the conclusion of the year's harvest, they choose to return to Hungary and are quickly swept up in the tides of war. This film is part of a series of films by award-winning, well-respected writer-director Zoltán Fábri who devoted much time and effort chronicling the struggle against fascism.
