Event Details : Fábri Film Club presents 'Skylark (Pascirta)' film screening. 
Laszlo Ranody's 1963 feature is about the plight of a couple trying to marry off their aging daughter and the liberation they experience when she goes off on a trip with some cousins.
The film version of the novel of the same title, written by Deszo Kosztolanyi. The daughter of Vajkay is called Pacsirta (Skylark). Infact she is a failure, ugly, advanced in years and her personality has an oppressive effect on the atmosphere of the home. Some relatives invite Pacsirta to their estate for a week and hope to find a husband for her. When the girl has left, the parents seem to be different people: they are gay, dine at a restaurant, go to the theater, meet their friends and society welcomes them. However, Pacsirta returns earlier than expected and once again proves to be a failure. The parents resign themselves to their fate. They cannot break out of their dreary, hopeless and closed world.
