Trivia
Renowned painter Szüts Miklós and his family's true story served as the inspiration for the film - Miklós was barely 6 when it all happened, he is the little boy in the movie.

Goofs
The toilet is equipped with a plastic water tank with a PVC pipe. Although PVC was first discovered in the 19th century, and found its first commercial use in the 1930s, it was still quite rare. A Budapest apartment in 1950 would've had a porcelain water tank.

A True Must See!!!

You should see this, to believe: there's a thin line between creating suspense and being over-exaggerating about an Era, when no human rights were off-the-chart to be completely devastated, if the State says so. Nobody would believe this, if it wasn't true. Sad circumstances, and at the same time, fortunate times now: greatest cast of Hungarian film makers deliver some true magic of a story to be heard everywhere! Because only a story's been told can be a memento of any similar not to come anymore...True Gem. 10/10.
