Somewhere in the remote region, the war ends. In the midst of ruined cities and houses in the streets, in rural hamlets, everywhere where people still live, are children who have lost their homes and parents. Abandoned, hungry, and in rags, defenseless and humiliated, they wander through the world. Hunger drives them. Little streams of orphans merge into a river which rushes forward and submerges everything in its path. The children do not know any feeling; they know only the world of their enemies. They fight, steal, struggle for a mouthful of food, and violence is merely a means to get it. A gang led by Cahoun finds a refuge in an abandoned castle and encounters an old composer who has voluntarily retired into solitude from a world of hatred, treason, and crime. How can they find a common ground, how can they become mutual friends? The castle becomes their hiding place but possibly it will also be their first home which they may organize and must defend. But even for this, the price will be very high.
To this simple story, the journalist, writer, poet, scriptwriter, movie director, and film theoretician Béla Balázs applied many years of experience. He and the director Géza Radványi created a work which opened a new postwar chapter in Hungarian film. Surprisingly, this film has not lost any of its impact over the years, especially on a profound philosophical level. That is to say, it is not merely a movie about war; it is not important in what location and in what period of time it takes place. It is a story outside of time about the joyless fate of children who pay dearly for the cruel war games of adults.
At the time it was premiered, the movie was enthusiastically received by the critics. The main roles were taken by streetwise boys of a children's group who created their roles improvisationally in close contact with a few professional actors, and in the children's acting their own fresh experience of war's turmoil appears to be reflected. At the same time, their performance fits admirably into the mosaic of a very complex movie language. Balázs's influence revealed itself, above all, in the introductory sequences: an air raid on an amusement park, seen in a montage of dramatic situations evoking the last spasms of war, where, undoubtedly, we discern the influence of classical Soviet cinematography. Shooting, the boy's escape, the locomotive's wheels, the shadows of soldiers with submachine guns, the sound of a whistle—the images are linked together in abrupt sequences in which varying shots and expressive sharp sounds are emphasized. A perfectly planned screenplay avoided all elements of sentimentality, time-worn stereotypes of wronged children, romanticism and cheap simplification. The authors succeeded in bridging the perilous dramatic abyss of the metamorphosis of a children's community. Their telling of the story (the scene of pillaging, the assault on the castle, etc) independently introduced some neorealist elements which, at that time, were being propagated in Italy by De Sica, Rossellini, and other film artists. The rebukes of contemporary critics, who called attention to "formalism for its own sake" have been forgotten. The masterly art of cameraman Barnabás Hegyi gives vitality to the poetic images. His angle shots of the children, his composition of scenes in the castle interior, are a living document of the times, and underline the atmosphere and the characters of the protagonists. The success of the picture was also enhanced by the musical art of composer Dénes Buday who, in tense situations, inserted the theme of the Marseilaise into the movie's structure, as a motive of community unification, as an expression of friendship and the possibility of understanding.
Valahol Europaban is the first significant postwar Hungarian film. It originated in a relaxed atmosphere, replete with joy and euphoria, and it includes these elements in order to demonstrate the strength of humanism, tolerance, and friendship. It represents a general condemnation of war anywhere in the world, in any form.

这个片名翻译的也太奇怪了吧 我好喜欢啊啊啊啊啊 就是emotional connection超过一切 温柔的治愈像是一个睡前的bedside story 除了黑白影像的选择还是不够好（虽然有了color continuity）IT’S SO BEAUTIFUL!!!!! 像是一首歌或事一首诗
我觉得主要论点是亲密关系使人成长，同时夹杂了太多政治正确的支线论点。
摄影和会画面格外舒服，也许不会有太强的故事情节或者戏剧性，但对比一下看看站在城市外来看城市还是蛮有意思
想象中美国独立电影的样子。尤其适合下班后的夜晚，沙发上，裹着毯子，我被抚平了。
妈，矫情却没有让我跟影片产生疏离感，大大喜欢。想买录音机

在另一个层面，影片又在实在感与虚无感之间来回交叉穿梭。约翰尼与杰西的关系危机，与采访问题可为互文，借此去思考家庭与亲情的社会议题，拷问纯真与成长的终极意义，
我看中了华金家的床，看起来就很好睡。剧情里的谈话可以作为英语听力，清醒时听，失眠时就不要听了，人生的问题太多，会更睡不着。（当然，听不懂的话，则助眠效果显著）
去掉了加州、纽约和新奥尔良的色彩，以一种更加冷漠的视角去观察生活、聆听对话，犹如给你一杯白开水，平淡却依旧润泽。
