Christmas is approaching. Two poor men try their almost to acquire some food for the Christmas table of their families. During their adventures, they try to cheat each other, because both would like to acquire the entire loot. Finally because they cannot cheat each other, they share everything in a brotherly manner.
Made by the Kecskemét Film Studio.
Directed by: József Haui, Marcell Jankovics
Storyteller: Gyula Szabó

The trio of folk art, folk music and folk tales are masterfully combined in the episodes, which have unique imagery, sometimes spicy folk humor in the dialogues. Thanks to the natural presentation of the storytellers, and the music of the Kaláka band, the viewer can experience something unique and special.

"We could never cheat each other!" Proceeds to cheat each other.

@Rudevald 5 жыл бұрын

They could never cheat each other not becouse they were friends. They were friends becouse they COULD NEVER cheat eachother. They would not be old friends if one could cheat another.

"Koma" (the original title for "old friend") is an interesting word in Hungarian. It does generally mean best friend, childhood friend, pal, chum. But this "best friend" was also an institution of rural life who'd do things like act as your children's godparent; your "koma" and their family'd effectively become adopted extended family through their participation in these big family events. Of course beneath this formal "bffs for life" role you'd occasionally find jealousy or rivalry, especially if both families were opportunistic. For the folks who created these stories this was common knowledge, and so these serve both as a parody of people they knew and witnessed, and cautionary tale for others on how not to be such fools as these two "best friends".

Krisztina Kapuvari True, I understand your point, but with of these fairytales, it appears that the children are all relatively born around the same age. Which means they can’t work as much as the house would need them to. I am not saying that children aren’t a blessing back on those times, but it seems like it would be more work to try and feed all those hungry mouths instead of trying to sustain just themselves for the time being. :)

And also a real life reflection. Sometimes, back in those days, people did have to beg, cheat, and steal just to make ends meet. If you want to give a accurate impression of those days, you gotta include those things. Plus, it can also act as a warning. This is what you'll be reduced to if you don't work hard and if society doesn't take measures to ensure there are less "poor" people.
