The Érpatak Model

0.0 2015 | 76 min

The film portrays Mihály Zoltán Orosz; the hyper-energetic and ultra-nationalist mayor of Érpatak, a small village with a population of 1,750 inhabitants in Eastern Hungary. Delusions of grandeur and a desire for control drive Mayor Orosz. He has divided the villagers into two groups: “builders” who support his vision for the “Érpatak Model,” and “destroyers” who oppose it. His ultimate goal is to establish a “sacred and organic dictatorship” in which order, discipline, and a fighting spirit are the supreme values, uniting the community at the local level and the nation at the national level.
