Tündérdomb (2001)

Balázs is a gypsy boy. At the end of the 1930s, in the Bakony, in a tiny village called Taliándörögd, a plane lands on the ground. The children run out, amazed. Balázs is there. That's when he decides to take a good look at this plane, so that he can make it later in a barn, secretly, from scratch. He lives in a gypsy community, different from the others. He and the butler fly for the joy of flying, for the wonder of it. This film is a reworking of an old and true story, which they try to follow in Budapest in the present. It's about exclusion, about being on the outside, about freedom and how much it can happen in this world.
