Kishorváth is preparing to direct the first film of his life, and his script is currently being examined by the Board of Trustees. The film project tells the story of his grandfather, who chooses a peculiar form of passive resistance after '56 in the early '60s. He and his companions found an Indian tribe, wore moccasins and withdrew from society. This game is governed by strict morals that the tribe members take very seriously. However, the Indians along the Danube are suspicious in the atmosphere of retaliation, for the already paranoid authorities. They possess strange weapons, communicate with each other in incomprehensible ways and, even more threatening, they correspond with American citizens, let alone meet them. The majority of the Board of Trustees welcomes Kishorváth's film plan with satisfaction, but there is someone among the reviewers whose family is also involved in the story and knows it quite differently.

A wide-ranging, energetic period piece tracing the rise of the Protestant Henry of Navarre as he goes from battlefield warrior to France's beloved King Henri IV. Director Jo Baier's epic is a classically-entertaining adventure, albeit one with much bloodshed and frequent bawdy sexual interludes. In late-16th-century France, Catholics and Protestant Huguenots are at war. Seemingly seeking peace, French dowager Queen Catherine de Medici summons Henry to her court to marry him to her daughter, which would unite the two warring factions. However, the Catholics slaughter the Protestant wedding guests in what became known as the St. Bartholomew's Day massacre and Henry--now married--must use all his guile to stay alive and maneuver for the throne.
