In her original concept of a film as a computer game, the author presents her personal report from Budapest where she was spent a year as a student.
The
viewers take part in a game, going through several levels that put them into
everyday situations related to the issues of the contemporary Hungarian
society: they see the capital with the eyes of tourists, but they are mostly
forced to use the subjective perspective of the Hungarians to think about the
freedom of art, the right to education, medical care, and the questionable
Hungarian political situation in general where the name of the Hungarian Prime
Minister, Viktor Orban, is often heard again and again.
