Contents/Summary
- Summary
- Parador Húngaro is the name of a fast food stop in downtown Bogotá owned by Gyuri Villás, a Hungarian who worked there since the end of the 1950’s. Playing opposite Gyuri is Patrick, an American by birth but Hungarian at heart who has lived his whole life like a nomad. Meeting Gyuri will force him to ask many questions about identity, memory, friendship, family, the need to nest and the need to run away. The documentary portrays the questions that take him from Colombia to Hungary and back again in a way that looks fortuitous and homemade, without tricks or gimmicks. It gives insight into the hearts and souls of two beings who forge a real friendship amidst their differences united by a Hungary that is three countries at once: the Hungary of Gyuri's memories, the Hungary “invented” by Patrick, and the Hungary where those who stayed behind still live.
