Life on the Hortobagy Page #3

Synopsis: Essentially a documentary about the lives of the Hungarian Hortobagy plains horsemen and peasants, with a slight fictional storyline to hang it all on. The coming of 'machines' threatens the way of life of these peoples, and most of them want no contact with tractors or even bicycles. But not everyone agrees.

He/yh-ho, her shepherd /0 verS

cloak will keep her cosy.

- A pretty couple.

- Yes.

- You stand there and look on'?

- He took her...

- Why didn't you take her'?

- You are right!

Now the gypsy must play

something for Juliska and me.

Stop! Now you play for me.

Don't stop, play on!

- Now he plays for me.

- Play on.

- Now he plays for me...

- For you'?

- He will play for me!

- No!!

That's enough. You shall not

dance anymore with my Juliska.

My Britannica cigar,

it fei/ out 0f m y pocket

And me I fe/l out too,

0f m y sweethea/TS fa vor,

But fallen out 0r no,

/'// not be long bereft; though,

For down in the new cofiee house,

gay music sets the tone there.

We must cover the machine.

A storm is brooding.

Is Jancsi with the horses?

He left this morning

with his bicycle.

He'll get it! Nowl must

go to the herd.

Give me my fur,

the storm is coming.

- Fetch the pincers out of the pit.

- I am bringing them.

Stand clear! The beams are

shifting! Free the horse!

Give me a rope.

Stay with the herd, I am going to

the gas, the drill has collapsed.

The drill has collapsed!

Help here!

I must put out the fire!

He is alive.

Thank God!

The drill has collapsed,

Jancsi is sure to be there.

Hurry!

My boy Jancsi is dead.

No, he's alive, but we must

carry him to the tent.

Now Jancsi, have you had

enough machines'?

No, father,

I want to be a mechanic.

Can you understand that'?

Let him be. If our sons

don't take over the machines,

they will lose the

Puszta altogether.

- Where is Crane, my horse'?

- Struck dead by the beam.

- Crane'?

- Yes.

Come on, Uncle lmre,

let's bury him.

- Father, you and Mihly bury him.

- All right, Jancsi.

- I am off to put him on the cart.

- I shall come in a moment.

- Can you see something'?

- No.

Iam sure something

has happened.

Look afterthe kid; I am off

to bury Crane.

Do so.

The motor is working again,

Mr. Mechanic.

It needs some oil.

It would make no sense

to give oats to Daru -

he will not stir anymore.

Now you too

belong to the machine.

- I will do my best, Mr. Mechanic. And our

machine must live always. - Okay, Jancsi.

Iam sorry for the fine horse.

As for you, you'll get

- What'?

- Juliska!

Wow, I can't believe it!

For twenty years I have

cooked my soup alone,

but it has never been

so good as today.

- May I marry Mihly'?

- You may not you must.
