Mastergame

In this free adaptation of Stefan Zweig's The Royal Game, Marta (Sara Varga-Jaro) and Istvan (Gergely Varadi) are trying to leave Hungary with the last refugee train in November of '56. Aside from the young couple, the church's invaluable relics are on their way to the western border, towards the free world, whose route the government's agents are attempting to torture out of B (Karoly Hajduk), a catholic priest. The characters stories aboard the train intercept one other in a crucial chess game where the stakes are not only the relics' fate, but also the lives of the two lovers. Barnabas Toth's much anticipated film is a psychological thriller filled with unexpected twists; the likes of which viewers have never seen before from a Hungarian director.
