Foltos farmerek az út mentén
Patched blue jeans on the roadside

Summary/Abstract: Were there really hippies in socialist Hungary, or was it only some kind of mimicry of the West? How did beat sounds reach people through the Radio Free Europe the transmissions of which were always jammed? How did beat take root during the Kádár Era? How did the regime overpower rebellious generations? What did rock and roll, beat and the popular music of defiance mean to post-war film-makers? Gábor Beretvás answers these questions while exploring the feature and documentary films of the era.
