The Hungarian Cultural Centre will screen the film by the new generation of filmmakers from Hungary with the director and the director of photography in attendance for the first time in the UK. In Apaföld the Father is released from prison, resolving to start a new life and try to pass on some form of value system to his son. He buys a plot of land, on which he plans to plant grapevines. The Son, whose formative years have been blighted by the absence of paternal figure, is suddenly confronted with his flesh-and-blood father, was formerly deified, but whose current intentions are met with stiff resistance. Everything the Father does or represents is totally rejected by the Son.
