SUMMARY
SOMEWHERE IN EUROPE is a De Sica-like tale of homeless war orphans
in devastated postwar Hungary. Living by their wits and stealing to
eat, a ragged band of scavenging children take refuge in a ruined
castle, only to discover its inhabited by an eccentric orchestra
conductor who has been emotionally and spiritually destroyed by war.
Both children and adult find a renewed sense of community and hope until
a bitter encounter with "civilized" society proves its as cruel as
ever. Impressively filmed by Barnabas Hegyi and produced by the
Hungarian Communist Party before it took power, SOMEWHERE IN EUROPE is a
rediscovered treasure that compares favorably to the greatest of
Italian Neorealist films.
