Lazi is on a train to Budapest with one goal: to retrieve the rifle of his grandfather András, who tried to flee to Argentina during the 1956 Hungarian Uprising but ended up in Eppingen, Germany. In the Hungarian village, Lazi encounters unpredictable aunts, countless shots of schnapps, and his second cousin Zsófi, who teaches him how to shoot. Only Mónika, his mother's sister, understands the significance of Lazi's changed body; only she suspects the true reason for his return: revenge, justice. Searching for the origins of violence in his family history, Lazi unravels a seam of shame and silence. She finally holds his grandfather's rifle and all the threads of the story in her hands. And she makes a decision. King Cobrä tells a story of resistance against silence, and of how love is not a bloodhound, with humor, tenderness, and anger.

'Muri Darida tells the story of what has been inscribed upon us in powerful images, transforming it into breath, life, liberation – and igniting a fire that sets language ablaze.' Yael Inokai
