Napló gyermekeimnek (1984)

 English title: Diary for My Children

In 1947, an orphan girl who had been living in the USSR returns to her native Hungary and goes to live with a woman who wants to adopt her. However, the girl does not get along with her prospective stepmother, who is a fanatic supporter of the Stalinist regime, the same one which killed the girl's father.

While perhaps not aesthetically remarkable, this film tells an important story about a regrettable historical episode, and it does it with honesty and clarity.

Rating: 51
