The Hammer of The Village

Overview

An imaginative, animated adaptation of Sándor Petőfi’s comedy epic using folk motifs and elements of modern painting, with visual means only. Enemies of the village blacksmith lock him in the church because there is a plot to win over his lover, the pub owner. The blacksmith breaks free, catches the seducer red-handed and a heated punch-up ensues. Finally, the local magistrate arrives and dispenses justice.
