Az Örvény plot

The main character of “Az Örvény” is cinematographer György Petö. His private films from before and during the Second World War document his family, in particular his girlfriend and later wife Eva Lengyel. These films, mainly shot in the Hungarian city of Szeged in the south of the country, in retrospect form an extremely wry historical document. Petö was of Jewish descent. Slowly but surely we see how the anti-Jewish laws and the political upheavals in Hungary are getting the family into a stranglehold.
