Contents/Summary
- Summary
- "Motalko" reconstructs the family history of Tasziló Landthaller, owner of the first private Hungarian petrol station. Founded by his father in 1936, the petrol station remained in Taszi’s hands through the most troubled times in recent Hungarian history – World War II, post-war nationalization, and the fall of the socialist regime in Hungary. The documentary reconstructs the struggles of a man who managed to hold on to a gas station and keep it open in an era when it was virtually impossible to run a private business, and who fought for 40 years until finally he officially won his petrol station back after the regime change. The proud owner is still working and motorists passing by on road no.7 can still fill up at his place, just like 76 years ago.
