Son of the White Mare DVD

Son of the White Mare, the second feature film of Marcel Jankovics, was released in 1981. The avant-garde, fairy tale-like plot of the film is based on ancient legends of nomadic tribes. Its breath-taking, dreamlike visual world is created from abstract geometric forms and the circular images of the mandala. Its unique, atmospheric score is based on murmuring sounds.

The film’s main character is Fehérlófia, who is a man with superhuman powers. He was born as the third son of a white horse and listened to old tales about the Forefather and the end of his reign, caused by evil dragons. Following the death of the white horse, the son sets out to fight the evil dragons and the Son of the White Mare is his coming-of-age story.
