Synopsis
The heart-wrenching story of The Citizen begins with a citizenship exam, where the examination committee rigorously questions a middle-aged African man. No matter how beautifully he recites Hungarian poetry, Wilson, a political refugee in his late fifties, fails the exams for the umpteenth time, because he doesnât know where the periodical âMagyar Közlönyâ got its name from, and what the Corvinae are. Moreover, inspired by Vörösmartyâs poem, the committee chairman even questions his reasons for leaving his mother country. Wilson argues that his reasons include his fellow citizens cutting pregnant women in half, yet he doesnât manage to soften the heart of the committee members.
