Episode 1 • Sep 25, 2013
Love Commando
In India with its 1.2 billion inhabitants love counts as a daring new feature. In a society divided by caste and clan systems the parents choose their offspring's suitable partners. If a girl and a boy fall in love without permission they usually have no choice but to elope. If they get caught the family retaliate with an 'honour killing'. It is such a disgrace for the family that they say the best solution is to shed the blood of the indecent daughter or son: they kill their own children. Honour killings are ordinary in India. The killers are hardly prosecuted and although everybody knows about the killings few do anything to stop them. Somewhere in a shabby back alley in New Delhi is where the Love Commando operates. They rescue and hide escaped couples in their secret hide-outs. The majority of the couples want to start a new life in a far away corner of India, far from the shadow of the vendetta. The Hungarian filmmakers became acquainted with the story of couples on the run and the warriors of the love commando in such a hide-out. Later they met parents who were looking for their children so that they can murder them. A handful of fighters' modern war on ancient tradition.
Episode 2 • Oct 23, 2013
Jewish Settlers
The second episode of the series takes place in the West Bank. The protagonists are the Jewish settlers who live in the Palestinian area to fulfil the Biblical prophecy, to populate the land of Israel according to what borders are recorded in the Torah. The mission of the settlers is surrounded by brutal murders and military actions, there is a constant debate even within Israel. Eszter Cseke and András S. Takács show the settlers' movement from as close as Hungarian viewers have never seen it. they do so with their usual curiosity, honesty and bravery. They accompanied their protagonists to the grave of Joshua in the middle of a Palestinian village where the Israeli army secured the prayer. They also followed the trial of one settlement at the Israeli Supreme Court and they were allowed to film in the Judean desert during the night when at the stroke of midnight thousands of settlers cry out to God for all the things that cannot be expressed by speech.
Episode 3 • Nov 20, 2013
Tibetan Self-Immolations
Eszter Cseke and András S. Takács show the perhaps most desperate and most radical form of fight: Tibetan Buddhists who protest against oppression by setting fire to themselves. Why are they doing it? How are they capable? And what does Buddhism say about this? Upsetting footage, never before seen in Hungary, captivating testimonies and a man who has failed: he set fire to himself but survived.

Baletnyy sindrom

Baletnyy sindrom

Documentary drama about the backstage of Russian ballet. It is no secret for the creative community that ballet dancers more often than others face harassment and blackmail from teachers and theater managers. Despite this, all active dancers claim that theaters and ballet schools are "monasteries with their own charter," which the artist is obliged to accept, and for years they have tolerated the clause about sexual obedience to masters and mentors included in this charter. For what reason are ballet dancers silent about the dark side of the profession and what is their silence really hiding?
