- Fueled by literary aspirations and youthful exuberance, two competitive friends endure the pangs of love, depression, and burgeoning careers.
- In Budapest, two rival gangs of young boys lay claim to a vacant lot. The hostilities escalate yet never quite boil over into actual violence. The film poignantly portrays the struggles and resilience of youth amid the harsh realities of war.
- An actress traveling to Paris reflects on her life during the Nazi occupation of Poland.
- The theme of the delightful Hungarian fantasy film "A Very Moral Night," made in 1977 and now playing at the Public Theater, could well be innocence, even if the action does take place in a bordello. It is a good bordello, so sweet and wholesome that it seems a place of pure beauty and Eden-like charm.
- A year in the lives of the animals living near a small Swedish farm.
- Jancsi Oláh is in the transitional phase between adolescence and adultness. He is born in 1938, and is now getting his first employment as an electronic engineer. On some TV-screens he happens to see a young lawyer, Éva Halk, who arrests his attention. In his imagination she is the most interesting woman he ever saw. Jansci is part of a closely knit gang of young engineers. They see the older engineers as mediocre, and have grand ideas about developing new inventions together. With changing living conditions the five friends start to grow apart. At a party Jancsi suddenly meets Éva Halk. They fall in love, and find common memories in the engagement in The Pioneer Railway at the age of 12. Both of them also chose to stay in Hungary in '56, when many of their friends fled the country. The sudden death of the gang member Laci in leukemia is a hard blow for them all. The fear of death grabs Éva and Jancsi. They start seeing each other as obstacles to their own development, and drift apart.
- Paris, May 1968. Anne, a seventeen-year-old high school student of bourgeois origin, loves Frédéric, a boy from a modest background. The teenager runs away and decides to go to work in an Israeli kibbutz with her boyfriend.
- Set in 1946, this movie deals with the planning and execution of the January, 1942 Novi Sad massacre of 4,000 Yugoslavian Serbs and Jews by Hungarian army units. It was undertaken as a reprisal for a partisan ambush (in which 17 soldiers were gunned down). And it is mainly explored through the reminiscences of four participants--Major Buky, Lieutenant Tarpataki, Ensign Pozdor, and Corporal Szabonow--cell-mates awaiting trial. Ultimately, however, what you get is an extended debate over issues of individual responsibility.
- Majid Berzegar, a friend of fellow filmmaker Jafar Panahi, joins him at his Tehran home. Both are on their way to an unspecified destination. Jafar is driving. During the journey, the dialogue between the two creators, occasionally interrupted by a call on Jafar's cell phone, is sustained. Among other things, Jafar Panahi talks about the clandestine situation to which the regime has forced him, his state of mind and his determination to resist in spite of all the pressure. When they arrive at their destination, the cemetery where their mentor, the great director Abbas Kiarostami, is buried, Jafar Panahi, deeply moved, lets Majid enter alone to put flowers on his grave. Going to his master's grave would mean admitting that he would never see him again, which is beyond his strength.
- A couple of ordinary Belgians go to the 1958 Brussels World's Fair and with them we discover the colorful crowds visiting pavilion after pavilion in joyful enthusiasm and exhilaration. All the people there feel as one and store wonderful memories for the years to come.
