By the middle of the 70s, partly due to television, Hungarian films had lost much of their audience. The allure of disguised social criticism - one of the secret reasons why Hungarian films were so successful at foreign festivals - started to wear off. After 1968 social criticism became pointless. The first director to open up towards the audience (along with Zoltán Fábri) was Pál Sándor. Mourning the loss of left-wing ideals of freedom he recreated the illusion of a past community.
