It\u2019s a dangerous game and gets him into such serious trouble he must flee Budapest to save his skin. When he is given shelter in a remote forest by a woman named Judit and her son, Bal\u00e1zs\u2019s con man trickery fades as he finds himself falling in love. Things go well in their passionate affair until Judit\u2019s brutish husband returns home from the front.<br \/>\nChoices now have to be made, not only about love, but also about whether to acquiesce to the occupying Soviet army or fight back against their presence. In love and in politics, Bal\u00e1zs now understands, there\u2019s no pretending anymore.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Please check out the trailer on the YouTube <a href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/YP7T-CKz12s\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">address<\/a> below:<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"800\" height=\"450\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/YP7T-CKz12s?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Perhaps it is not too late to draw your kind attention to a new cultural event that could detach the avid Netflix viewers from their screen, at least for a while, and could offer them well-oxygenated fresh air to breathe in. \u201cThe Canadian Film Institute, the European Union Film Festival in Toronto, and The Cinematheque [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":39,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[25],"tags":[],"views":1497,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/omh-ohcc.ca\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3985"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/omh-ohcc.ca\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/omh-ohcc.ca\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/omh-ohcc.ca\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/39"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/omh-ohcc.ca\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=3985"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/omh-ohcc.ca\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3985\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/omh-ohcc.ca\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=3985"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/omh-ohcc.ca\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=3985"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/omh-ohcc.ca\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=3985"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
