While you have to be at a certain age to actually be able to say I WAS THERE, this movie give the best shot the help travel back to an period of time that was unique and magical in it's own way.

The incredible story of three good friends, Ákos, Laci and Petya, who want travel to Europe around the time of the collapse of the iron curtain. It's almost like a detective tale, but from the perspective of the perpetrator. Who are I no way villains, but friendly, open minded and brave opportunist. And yes, it's a true story, which makes it even more enjoyable.

I had the privilege to know one of the guys Ákos, who was a real character and a true fighter for a just cause.

One of the best Hungarian movies recently!

For the price of this film, four really good historical movies could have been made. You could also make a good action film about 1848 and not just about the fight for independence. It could even have been about Commander-in-Chief von Lederer, who in May of 1848 actually used a gun to break up the demonstration held against him in Buda.

Contrary to what is shown in the film as fiction, like fighting with knives and guns, shootings, jumping out the window, pregnant action heroine...you can't make this up.

This much nonsense and ahistoricity can only be condensed into more than two hours on purpose.

First thing first: this is great french cinema. If you like french comedy, you will love the movie, no matter what you think of the topic. And this is one of the greatest (but not the only) achievements of the movie. It gives you an easy, yet deep view of controversial social issues, partnership and unconditional love. It also gives you a short but thought-provoking insight of the trans world, make you ask questions and even gives you rather easy answers, if you are open to: acceptance.

You will laugh through the whole movie, and still think about how such situations would play out in your own world, family or country.

With respect to the hardships of trans people, it's a fun ride!
