Nyócker! (Film by Áron Gauder, 2004)

The ELTE– NFI FILMIO University Film Club screening and discussion series continues. We welcome university members from all ELTE faculties.

This free-spirited Romeo and Juliet parody, peppered with catchy rap songs, is a unique animated ghetto film set in Józsefváros. Filled with social commentary and references to current political events, this adult satire is made in the outspoken, provocative tone of American shows like South Park and Beavis and Butt-head, giving a humorous and authentic view of the twisted political and social order of post-millennial Eastern Europe from the perspective of kids who call a spade a spade – from a bottom-up perspective.

The love between two young Roma people is hindered by conflict between their parents. Ricsi wants to use money to settle the dispute between the families. He and his friends travel back to prehistoric times in a time machine, where, with the help of their Stone Age ancestors, they hunt mammoths in the hope that the animal carcasses will form a huge oil field under the 8th district over the millennia, making them rich overnight. Rambo DVD box sets, five-star school cafeterias, gold Rolex watches on all their wrists. The sudden appearance of vast amounts of oil causes turmoil in the global economy, and the superpowers launch an investigation, closing in on the ghetto, but one thing is certain: Nyócker will remain Nyócker for as long as the world exists.
