Twin brothers Géza and Bandi take different paths after growing up in the large Hungarian Gyurkovics family. While Bandi remains at the family estate, the film follows the more impulsive Géza on his journey as an officer cadet. Géza behaves disrespectfully in the garrison town, gets into conflict with his superiors, and falls in love with Jutka, the colonel's daughter. During a stay at a spa, he becomes involved in a plot with an unhappily married baroness, who tries to provoke a divorce by running away with him.

Our take on this event

Step back in time to 1920 with this rare Swedish silent classic, brought to life by the spontaneous magic of a live piano performance. It is a perfect way to rediscover the golden age of cinema through the turbulent romances of a headstrong military cadet.

  • Documentary Month | Pride Festival: screening of the film "Habibi, Song for My Friends"

    Every month, the artists of the Soirées Habibi perform for drag shows themed around cinema at the Flèche d'Or, a non-profit and activist performance venue. The artists' cabaret coexists with solidarity activities (pay-what-you-can canteen, outreach, legal clinic). From collective rehearsals to public performances, "Habibi, Song for My Friends" enters the intimacy of creating a show, and paints a portrait of five artists and a solidarity-based space. It is an opportunity to question how the social commitment of some fuels the stagecraft of others; leading up to the grand finale, an engaged, festive, and friendly drag show.
