Contents/Summary
- Summary
- Felvidék is a multiethnic Slovak-Hungarian region in southern Slovakia. Far too often the region has been trapped in between the opposing interests of political elites; far too often its people have been tossed around by the twists of history. In the 1940s, many were forced to leave their homeland. The film unravels the history of an issue which continues to be a soft spot for people whose fates were hit by the events after World War II. Through a personal journey, the director explores the forced resettlement of ethnic Hungarians in postwar Czechoslovakia. Some wounds are hard to heal, some questions remain unanswered but the future brings hope for reconciliation. Coming from a mixed background, the director is inherently concerned with the question of identity. When memories are not enough, the stories come to live through a combination of oral history document, archive footage and animation.
