HOW LONG DOES A MAN LIVE?

Meddig él az ember? I-II

Directed by Judit Elek
Hungary, 1968

Synopsis

In a society that measures a human being’s value by productivity, few questions could be more subversive than those concerning the value of people who aren’t working. Elek explores this through a labourer forced into retirement and his young replacement, a peasant in an industrial school.
