Synopsis

The busiest center of Buda is the Moszkva Square. From the late 50s to '68-69, the young high school and college students who hung out here never uttered the name Moszkva. To them, it was Kalef, referring to Kálmán Széll. Later, they were also called kalefs. These loosely connected 30-40 people were not famous for operating as an organized group, but rather for their crazy love of rock and roll, listening to music, flirting, going to parties, drinking, hitchhiking, especially to Lake Balaton and Poland; yet, already in the early 60s, the Ministry of Internal Affairs noticed them, treated them as enemies, and tried to crack down hard. They did not shy away from using the most humiliating methods, their goal being to smash "Kalef".

How many hands made this film

The scale of the collaboration

Principal cast & crew: 14

These are the principals we have on file — the full crew ran to the hundreds. Every film this size was made by far more hands than any credits list ever names.

Why a floor?

This is a minimum, not a total. We only count the credits we’ve captured so far, and coverage is uneven — a blockbuster might show a few hundred names while another of the same size shows a couple dozen. The real crews all ran into the thousands. The number here only grows as full credits are enriched — so we frame it as a floor, never a headcount.
