Synopsis:
The protagonists of this film are Kapa and Pepe, two gravediggers who spend
their time sitting on a bench at the cemetery, making fun of the surrounding
world. Simultaneously, they imagine themselves as bankers, lawyers, newly
fledged rich men, bankrupt businessmen, thieves, and terrorists. One thing is
certain - they are invincible... This is a highly appraised film by Miklós
Jancso, shown at the Berlin film festival in 1999 (as part of the program under
the title International Forum of New Cinema). It won the international
film critics’ award Gene Moskowitz at the 30th Annual Hungarian Film
Week.
