THE WITNESS ONCE MORE
Symposium
Thirty years later, Péter Bacsó re-animates József Pelikán. His naive hero is now caught between various forces in post-communist Hungary. A millionaire wants to transform Pelikán’s village into a new Las Vegas, and asks him to run for the office of mayor. A party dedicated to nationalist politics decides to campaign against this rampant commercialization. Once again, József Pelikan finds himself caught between the front-lines.
