    Where to Watch

This Hungarian black comedy is set at a very special fantasy park that allows visitors to play organized war games. It proves to be a very popular attraction amongst the bored tourists until they suddenly realize that they are shooting real bullets. The authorities quickly close the park, but then recruits its director to begin using it to train real troops.

A fantasy park offers the public a chance to play organized war games. The bored tourists delight in the sport until they realize that the bullets being fired are real. The state closes the park but recruits its female director to train real-life troops. Written years before the popular American film WESTWORLD, this Hungarian effort separates itself from that film by having heavy doses of political black comedy, a sad commentary on the output from one of the oldest filmmaking countries in Europe.
