CHILDREN OF THE GREEN DRAGON

Competition

Máté, an estate agent still reeling under the shock of his recent divorce is commissioned to sell an old warehouse. Easier said than done, he quickly discovers: the property is so unattractive that prospective buyers immediately turn on their heels. However, the contents of the place present even more of a headache: hundreds of crates containing cheap, semi-legal Chinese imports. The consignment is watched over by Wu, who lives in the warehouse. He has a commission of his own: to prevent the sale of the building by any means. His boss will not return Wu’s papers if he fails, meaning he would never see China again. Despite this conflict of interests and the yawning gulf between them, a friendship develops between the lonely Hungarian and the friendless Chinaman. Then Six, a young pizza delivery girl, enters their lives on her moped. Much to the delight of Wu in particular, she makes a habit of dropping by for coffee. As the two men’s bosses start tightening the screws, Six is provoking conflicts of a very different kind. Bence Miklauzic’s “fight-free Kung Fu film” is a splendidly dry and warmhearted comedy about rivalry and friendship. A warehouse full of plastic junk turns into an adventure playground for two men down on their luck, and they come to realize: “We too are children of the green dragon.”
