The photo-essayic film FIASCO tells the story of a new beginning in 1950s Stalinist Budapest after Auschwitz and Buchenwald. FIASCO explores the search for identity and the multiplication of one's personality under the repression of totalitarianism. In addition the film deals with the perception of time.
