Contents Summary

With an 8mm camera, a secret film diary was shot between 1936 and 1966 by Jenő, who could have perhaps been the one of the best cameraman of his age, had he not worked until 1945 as the senior officer of General Mortgage Credit Bank. The main actors of the Tabán spleen are Dusi and Jenő and the city itself, in snow, fog and rain, after the siege. This film is a sensitive memento of the vanishing life style of the 1930’s Hungarian middle class.
