A veréb is madár

The basic virtue - social critic. and the performance of a great actor. a film about Communism and about the American dream. smart, seductive, bitter and courageous. and that did it more than a nice comedy. but usefull support for reflect about the essence of a regime, about the confusion and about dreams. the recipe is familiar for East Eauropean viewer. and, maybe, naive for the rest of public. but it is one of films with status of testimony. about choices and illusion and every day reality under totalitarian regime. and sure, about forms of freedom . in small things. living a bizarre dream.

In this Socialist-era comedy the unforgettable Kabos plays the Holló brothers: Sándor, who emigrated and became a rich man, and Zoltán, who stayed in Hungary and lives the life of an average working-class man. When Sándor visits his twin brother, they are constantly mistaken for each other, and when Zoltán sees how differently people treat Sándor because of his money and his foreign citizenship, he begins to like being mistaken for him - until he realizes that this means he will lose his girlfriend Szöszi... By showing both sides and over-emphasizing some differences the film mocks both the Socialist way of life and those who were bored of it and admired the lifestyle in the Capitalist countries.
