The story

What Is Long Distance Runner About?

The premise of Long Distance Runner without spoilers.

György Schirilla, celebrated for long-distance running and swimming the icy Danube, ran to Moscow to mark the 50th anniversary of the October Revolution. A year later his village Kenderes, Hungary, built a bistro in his honor. Gyula Gazdag recorded his return to Kenderes and the bistro’s opening; the film’s title derives from a poem read by the village council president, ending “We can always count on your long run.”
