Peer Gynt (1988)

Directed by István Gaál2h 18m

Adapted for Hungarian TV. Dreamy Peer Gynt lives in a small Norwegian village high up in the mountains with his mother, Aase, and his grandfather. Peer Gynt's elderly father and grandfather have squandered everything, but the boy could still make the farm prosper with hard work if he wants to work, not just tell stories and hang around. Peer is living in a dream world, wanting to be king or emperor, running after his impossible visions without thinking. He could make a decent marriage with Ingrid, the daughter of a wealthy farmer, but he just dishonours her and runs away. Solvejg loves her with true love and then goes into the woods to hide, but Peer continues to run away to distant foreign lands...
