Hungarian Film Festival
Creative Cultural Exchange and MSP Film Society present the Hungarian Film Festival 2020 - Virtual Edition, a celebration of Hungarian culture and cinema through the lens of two popular Hungarian films, Lajko - Gypsy in Space (Lajkó - Cigány az urben) and Neither With You (Seveled).
About the Film
This black comedy reveals that the first living being in space was not actually a dog called Lajka but a Hungarian crop-sprayer by the name of Lajkó. We discover that, in early 1957, the Soviet Union decides to give Hungary the honor of blasting the first cosmonaut into orbit. The most suitable candidate turns out to be none other than Lajos Serbán, known to all as Lajkó, whose life as a crop dusting pilot reflects his lifelong attraction to the stars and an unexplored affinity with outer space. When he is eventually selected for this daring mission, he has no idea that the universe has conspired to make his dreams come true.
