Black Train dealt with the problems of impoverished commuting workers, many of them gypsies, and Schiffer continued to explore the gypsy life in Houses at the End of the Village and What Do Gypsy Children Do? Gyuri, his first feature, is devoted to exploring the fate and conditions of the gypsy community, focusing on Gyuri, the "spokesman" for his particular Gypsy Row. Schiffer follows Gyuri to Budapest and films him as he tries to get a job and settle down. "For all the qualities of a 'pro' (Gyuri) possessed...you could never get him to act out a situation or utter a single line that he felt was foreign to him. But he would give a perfect histrionic performance in every situation he felt to be congenial... (Our) task was to find these situations for him..." (Pál Schiffer). "Schiffer brings a vibrant, enquiring tone to his material and extracts some wonderful moments of irony, sadness and humor" (John Gillett, London Film Festival).
