25 Firemans Street (1982)

On one hot summer night the residents of a Hungarian apartment house slated for demolition restlessly revisit their haunted pasts as they face an uncertain future In a gently turning kaleidoscope of dream imagery regretladen nostalgia and painstakingly intimate detail the looming wrecking ball pales in significance to the accumulated experiences each dreamer revisits Prewar prejudice occupying Nazis and Stalinist deprivations all come and go as each tenants backward glance yields moments of aching sensuality infectious exuberance and catastrophic loss
