Once upon a time lived a man starving continually, he was Starving Matthias. In his great misery he nearly hanged himself when he met the devil. He managed to swindle a quintal of gold out of the devil. Later on the devils wanted to get back the gold but Starving Matthias outwitted them at all times. He starved never again. When he died the devils did not dare to receive him into the hell but St. Peter did not receive him into the heaven even. Since that time Starving Matthias has been sitting at the heaven’s door.

Made by the Kecskemét Film Studio.
Directed by: Marcell Jankovics, Mária Horváth
Storyteller: Gyula Szabó

The makers used the decorative art of a certain countryside region at each episode. The trio of folk art, folk music and folk tales are masterfully combined in the episodes, which have unique imagery, sometimes spicy folk humor in the dialogues. Thanks to the natural presentation of the storytellers, and the music of the Kaláka band, the viewer can experience something unique and special.
