This artistic film deals with the meeting of the resigning socialist system, the crisis of collapsing heavy industry, the prosperous underground and the incoming market economy. The dystopian atmosphere is created through continued minimal lighting, the music of Tibor Szemző and the film locations including an abandoned factory and underground tunnels. The film locations can all be found in Hungary, with the underground tunnels being the Kőbánya cellar system and the factory scenes being an abandoned beer factory in Budapest[1].
The film contains very little dialogue, relying on the movement and expression of characters to convey the story. It expresses the essence of the underground subculture living on the fringes of society, their social problems, hopelessness, use of mind-alterering substances, and music.
During the factory computer scenes and closing credits, the green on black code effect now known as Matrix digital rain can be observed. Other scenes depicting hacking are actually screengrabs from (the now discontinued) Borland Turbo C IDE.
