About the Film: Inkubátor
Inkubátor tells the story of an unlikely reunion – one which involves a Hungarian rock opera performed in the Sierra Nevada mountains by a cast of 40-something Hungarian-Americans. They meet in the same exact spot they performed the Hungarian rock opera entitled Stephen, the King, 25 years ago during a summer camp in 1984. That summer the Soviets still had tanks stationed in Hungary, and the country was isolated behind the Iron Curtain. Many of these scouts had never been to Hungary, where their parents had been born. The reunion of this original cast, now living all over the world including Budapest, makes for an emotional and humorous portrait of one of many “incubators” operating in the U.S. over the years. They are meeting not only to reminisce, but also to figure out just who they’ve become, twenty years after the “Motherland” was liberated.
