Synopsis by Mark Deming

Two strangers who have a bone to pick with the world around them join forces with dangerous results in this drama. Gavrilo Prinzip (Szabolcs Thuroczy) is a catering worker and self-styled anarchist who has assumed the name of the man who murdered Grand Duke Ferdinand in 1914, an act that set the stage for the First World War. Prinzip is eager to lash out at society, but isn't sure where to start. One day, he literally runs into Majka (Eva Csatari), a gardener who knits in her spare time and donates the results to charity. When Majka learns that someone has been stealing her donations and selling them for profit, she becomes overcome with rage; upon discovering the identity of the culprit, she steals some dynamite from her father Geza (Istvan Gyuricza) with the intention of blowing up the thief's van. After Prinzip accidentally hits Majka with his car, they begin to talk with one another and discover their shared rage against the world; he helps her blow up the van, and together they set out to wage war on society at large. Director Tamas Toth wrote the screenplay for Anarchistak in collaboration with lead actors Szabolcs Thuroczy and Eva Csatari.
