What happens

The Upthrown Stone (Hungarian: Feldobott kő) is a 1969 Hungarian drama film directed by Sándor Sára. It was listed to compete at the 1968 Cannes Film Festival, but the festival was cancelled due to the events of May 1968 in France. The film was also selected as the Hungarian entry for the Best Foreign Language Film at the 42nd Academy Awards, but was not accepted as a nominee. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
