Three friends (Peter Vegh, Patrik Zsolt, and Korath Fereng) convene in Budapest on the plaza by the Millenary Monument, then bike 15 miles to the sort of country inn that healthy Hungarian boys repair to when they need to rid themselves of urban stress. Soon after the trio checks in, Peter Vegh wanders into the courtyard, where the sight of shirtless gardener Serge Istavan falling out of denim overalls leaves little doubt what kind of hostelry we're visiting.

This is one of those all-too-scarce hotels where sex can break out publicly or privately anywhere at any time. Once Vegh has helped Istavan fall the rest of his way out of his overalls, Korath Fereng follows comely waiter Serge Timar back to his room, where he sucks on Timar's tongue before moving on to other appendages. Patrik Zsolt joins a pair of fellow guests (Martin Sandor and the descriptively named Gaspar Urge) in a pitcher of wine; Sandor and Urge soon join each other in servings of Zsolt. The best segment is a fire-lit, tripartite, post-cookout investigation of various methods of heating up wieners. The three principals have next to nothing to do with this sequence, though Zsolt turns up on the periphery before it ends.

Hungarian Heat can't be compared to Falcon International's early ventures into Eastern Europe, like the classic Sauna Paradiso, but it works. The ten European models are attractive in a way that isn't die-cut. (Patrik Zsolt, for one, looks like Ann Blyth in her Mildred Pierce phase.) Max Philips, Falcon's first-rate in-house videographer, is credited as Assistant Director and presumably had a hand in the camerawork, which ranges from serviceable to exquisite.
