Not recommended for children under 12!
- In a small pub, the regulars (the watchmaker, the book agent, the carpenter, the photographer, and the pub owner) talk about everyday matters: how to prepare veal breast, acquaintances, and whether — if they had the chance to rise from the dead — they would choose the fate of a wealthy tyrant or that of an unfortunate but honorable slave. They have no idea that the theoretical question they raised will have to be answered the very next day — in practice, with their actions — in the torture chambers of the Arrow Cross.

Bem Cinema
In January 2016, the 108-year-old Bem Cinema will reopen its doors to the public, in a new way never seen before in Hungary: as a cinema of cult and classic films (no harm!), or as the educated French say (if you know your English): as a "repertory cinema".
