1GByte film (2002)

On May 1, 2002, the narrator and his friend set off from Budapest in a thirty-year-old “White Power” Wartburg for a barn rave in Őrség, joined en route by a solar-tanned couple, the film’s composer and a handful of Amiga-loving party-goers. What begins as a laid-back Labour Day celebration - stew, pálinka, makeshift metal blasting from a boombox - rapidly swells into a nationwide legend as more revelers, a troublemaker and a student duo join in, even as the local police, an unforgiving schedule and baffled villagers threaten to shut them down. By dawn, amid flying profanity and folk-metal riffs no one can hear, they’re left asking each other: what story will this wild night become on film?
