Series at the border
The genre of the series is action comedy. The story focuses on a mafia family doing business on both sides of the border. They live in Makosszállás, a fictional border crossing. Therefore, it contains many jokes about Hungarians, Ukrainians, and Russians. Furthermore, Ukrainian smugglers have a crucial role in it. But that seems to stop now.
According to Blikk, RTL Klub said that Keresztanyu’s storyline takes place in peacetime. Thus, it has no connection to real life or the current war. The TV channel plans to continue its broadcast. However, there will be modifications, Piroska Molnár, a famous Hungarian actress and the main character of the series, said in a video shared recently.
