Vali Rácz, Gyula Benkő

Modern and exciting short from a series of Hungarian noir films. Rácz Vali, playing the protagonist, was famous and beloved for her propensity to sing sad songs and recite lyrical poetry. She also played in movies, but only before 1945, as the cultural and social climate she represented didn't fit in the program of the post-war regime.
