A unique experiment started in Budapest last Spring. Inspired by a world famous Belgian theatre company of mentally handicapped people, Dóra Elek founded a professional theatre company. She started working with a group of mentally handicapped people in their Csomor institution and then moved to the Ferencvaros Cultural Centre for rehearsals. It took eight months from the first get-togethers to the actual performance, which was presented in front of a real audience in a real theatre at the end of November. The film is about these eight months. Its creators joined the company for rehearsals, in their summer camp, at the disco and in some homes. The film finished with the first performance, but the story of the Baltazár Theatre has just begun.
