In a story that hops around a little, a priest arrives in a village to go from person to person offering his own form of consolation or advice. On his list of "clients" is a former Communist Party official who is now wheelchair-bound because of a sniper's bullet during the 1956 uprising; a woman dying of tuberculosis; an astronomer who sings with a punk rock group; a woman who leaves her soldier-husband to work in a nightclub; and their son. As these people suffer through personal travails, a surprise is in store for everyone -- the priest is not exactly who he seems to be. ~ Eleanor Mannikka, Rovi

1983  
 
One of the problems with this drama lies in its title; "Eskimo" is pejorative, "Inuit" is preferred. Aside from this minor point, director (Janos Xantus) does not have a clear-cut storyline to guide his characters through their inevitable encounters with fate, but he does guide them in style. Mari (Marietta Mehes) is married to Janos (Andor Lukats), a deaf-mute, but is courted by Laci (Boguslaw Linda), a concert pianist who has fallen in love with her. Laci gives up his career to focus on Mari's own ambitions to become a rock singer, and between the two of them, Janos is rather exploited for their own aims. Eventually, the most unstable member of the trio proves to harbor murderous anger when pushed too far. ~ Eleanor Mannikka, Rovi
