The ruin pub phenomenon in Budapest jolted the city to life like an explosion in the early 2000s.

Made on the occasion of March 8, it presents a series of brief portraits of women, from various professional fields, of different ages and even of different ethnicities, pointing out the benefits that the communist organization had brought to their daily lives.
