A documentary of the legendary band of the eighties called CPg (Come on Punk group). CPg was one of the first Hungarian punk (not skinhead) groups. In the eyes of the political leadership, they were the most reactionary and the rudest. Their songs sounded like a naive, somewhat anarchistic social criticism but were never racists. They were sentenced to two years in prison.

Hope, desperation, faith and integrity.

Sziget Festival has become one of the largest music and cultural events of its kind in Europe. The dates are set for when a flood of festival goers colonize an island in the Danube for a week of madness. Anyone who has ever attended will tell you that there is something unique and indescribable about the atmosphere of the whole happening. Sziget means different things to different people. Some see it as a symbol of freedom while others associate it with love. And then there are those who are just there for the party. Sziget is synonymous with summer, the outdoors and a life lived together for a week every year. Everything spins in a simultaneous cycle for seven days and seven long nights as the music plays and masses of fans let down their hair. Music and faces. These are perhaps the two elements that can provide the greatest taste of Sziget as it really is... It's for those who have been and those still to experience summer in the city as it was meant to be...

Is it possible for a "Spontaneous republic" between Buda and Pest to make it without being cast out by the City?

The film tells the story of a long dead man, who was crushed, chewed and spit out by the diligent, cruel, but not really effective Hungarian judicatory system. We can wonder how obstinately, without being picky in terms of tools and methods, an innocent man was made guilty. We can only hope that only unlucky co- incidents and not the inner logic of the system are responsible for ruining a whole life.

Szöke: the independent filmmaker, the actor, the moralizing mouth of Tilos Radio, the grotesque humorist, the psychologist... Whoever follows this man will meet a thousand faces, but whatever he has to show is always astounding. The first part of the film is shot at Sziget, where he attempts to present his own publicly private view of cultural chaos. The masseur, the reporter, the tour guide... Szöke and the Surroundings, where we get to know a little about the man and a lot more about the island that is Sziget. The film comes back to pay him a visit a year later. It's summer again. But this time only he stands in the spotlight in Private Szöke.
