SYNOPSIS: Revolt of Job (Jób lázadása) is a magical celebration of life. With simplicity, humor and compassion, it tells the joyful and heartbreaking story of an elderly Jewish couple determined to keep their heritage alive in the face of Nazi extermination.

Having lost all of their seven children, Job, a prosperous farmer and his wife, Roza, adopt an 8-year-old gentile boy, Lacko. Although it is illegal and against the beliefs of the orthodox community, it is in this way that Job and Roza hope to pass on not only their possessions, but their spiritual values as well. Their love, patience and understanding win Lacko's devotion. With his new parents and their servant couple, he discovers a world in which nature, religion, family and love are one.

EDITORIAL REVIEW:  A truly excellent film with a very unfortunate ending. Fans of our collection of foreign films will certainly understand that sad endings almost always accompany foreign films; but that is exactly why Hollywood chooses not to make them (forget the the extensive bathing scene in the first 7 minutes of this movie where Job picks out boys to adopt like any one else chooses what pet buy).
