József Antall, the Unknown

Though many people associate József Antall primarily with his tenure as prime minister, since his 3 years in office took place in a period of decisive political transformation that broke the patterns of the 20th century, this film does not follow this trajectory. It intends to focus not only on deeds, but the man behind them, and the features of his pre-political life, all of which led him to take the supreme position of premiership. While singling out the important milestones in Antall’s life, the film wishes to cast light on events through which the characteristics of his personality and convictions come alive.Our approach, with the man in the center,is essential to understand and puzzle out the motivations that are still subject to heavy debates and may be traced back to his early years
