Ott torony volt: Víg Mihály-portré
In socialist Hungary, during the early 1980s, underground art flourished. In this often loud, heroic, and emotion-rich world, Vig Mihály, a key member of Balaton/Trabant, represented lyricism, intimacy, and internal journeys. He composed music for the films of János Xantus, András Szirtes, and Ildikó Szabó, and later became the regular composer for the world-renowned director Béla Tarr (and was even given a lead role in the 1994 film Sátántangó). In the documentary film, he speaks about his life, the atmosphere of the era, people associated with alternative culture, and his relationship with them, in an extremely personal and detailed way. We learn his thoughts on literature, music, film, and, in general, the world. He is a relaxed, funny character who is aware of his own limitations, does not deny the darker sides of his personality, but is able to look at his fate with satisfaction.
