Hungarian
Moustache is about a group of Hungarian patriots who identify themselves
through their mustache. Mustache in general is a symbol of manhood and patriotism
for them. But the big and bushy Hungarian mustache is even more: it is a style
that appears in the European Mustache Championship as an official category. The
only problem is that these strong patriots, who consider themselves the most
authentic, could never win in their own category so far. Because there is a
German guy, called Günter Rosin, who is unstoppable in Hungarian style in the
last ten years. The stake if the Hungarians could win this time?!

1986,
Hungarian village. Cleaning rags arrive to the local factory: used clothes from
the forbidden but desired West. Women of the village gather in the secret of
the night to open up the container and indulge their craving for glamorous
Parisian fashion. Ecstatic joy replaces the dull grayness of the socialist
regime, but desire to possess and sudden greed overwrite basic human values in
a second. Absurd portrait of an absurd era.

A
movie which gives an insight into the mysterious Russian Soul through a
portrait of a fragile and strong Russian woman who behaves like Dostoyevsky’s
lonely hero of the 2nd class on the Trans-Siberian Railway. As a carriage
attendant she serves hundreds of passengers every day, even if she’s longing
for home and dreaming about being a ballet dancer. The journey with her in the
middle of the frozen Siberia gives a glance
into the Russian dreams, love, suffering and happiness – in an unusual form of
documentary storytelling.
