Elment az öszöd
In 2017, three inmates - a former prime minister, an online journalist and a prison guard - await their sentences at Budapest’s Kozma Street Prison, each haunted by the spring 2006 elections, the Őszöd speech leak, the MTV siege and the October 23 protests at Astoria. As they relive those pivotal moments, their memories intertwine to reveal how that year’s political upheaval reshaped Hungary’s future.
