Tomi and Annamari are delighted when their parents tell them that they don’t have to go to school. Father returns home and proudly announces that he's slapped the insufferable Party prig who tormented him at work. Grandma comes home from shopping, and discovers that there are two bullet holes in the loaf of bread she’s been carrying. Yes, it's 1956 and the uprising has broken out in Budapest and all over Hungary, and suddenly it’s every man and women for themselves. Winner of the top prize at the Chicago Flm Festival as well as a host of other international awards, Péter Gárdos's Whooping Cough takes a decidedly less reverential tone to its depiction of the events of ’56, offering a wry, black-humored look as what happens to one family when suddenly from one day to the next his world is turned upside down.
