Árnyékok

Árnyékok is a Hungarian term that translates to "Shadows" in English. It is primarily known as the title of a 1935 Hungarian drama film directed by Lajos Lázár and starring Pál Juhász, Gábor Rajnai, and Irén Ágay. The film is set in a rural Hungarian village and explores themes of social injustice, poverty, and the harsh realities faced by the working class. The narrative often centers on the struggles of farmers and laborers against oppressive landowners or societal structures. The title "Shadows" itself suggests a pervasive sense of darkness, hardship, and perhaps hidden secrets or unspoken truths that loom over the characters' lives. The film is considered a significant example of Hungarian cinema from the interwar period, reflecting the social and economic anxieties of the time. While specific plot details may vary in summaries, the overarching tone is generally bleak, focusing on the difficult circumstances that cast long shadows over the lives of its protagonists.
