AND NOW I AM HERE

When he was twelve, Levente Fulop went away with a man who had asked his parents for a farm hand. Levente moved from Parajd to Atyha, two villages in Transylvania. At first, his boss thought he was too small, but he was soon pleased with Levente's obedience and dedication. Levente was glad to be away from his drinking, abusive father. What would be considered child labor in certain European countries is freedom to Levente. Most of his nine brothers and sisters are in an orphanage. Levente has only been in school for two years, and he would like to improve his reading. Still, his dream lies in the Transylvanian countryside; he hopes one day to have saved enough money to buy his own farm. Director Attila Moharos needs no more than seventeen minutes to put across the bond between Levente and the beautiful landscape of Transylvania. In magnificent panoramas, dark clouds drift ominously over green hills and valleys. Levente drives past in his horse and cart, dreaming of his future.
