Just some quotes from the document that inspired this movie:
Section II: "Nobles shall not be taxed and no free denars shall be collected from them. (...) Members of the Church shall not be taxed either".
Section XXIV: "Ishmaelites and Jewish shall hold no offices. Exchangers, counts, salt traders, customs officers shall be nobles of our country. Ishmaelites and Jewish shall be prohibited from that."
Section XXVI: "No land shall be given to people outside the country."
This document also laid down feudalism, a system we, Hungarians desperately aimed to tear down later in our history in 1848, as in many European countries. We had many interesting historical kings, inheritance stories and battles that could be depicted in a great way, but no, we had to pick an obsolete legal document on feudalism and discrimination.
This is movie shows where the Hungarian government is heading to, a system where only a few are privileged, while also excluding some ethnicities from the elite.
To prove my point: this document was recognised as official law in Hungary just a few weeks ago.
The message this movie carries already deserves to give a "1" on it.
Enjoy the movie.
