Reportedly, Hungarian animator Creator/MarcellJankovics saw this movie and left rather unimpressed by it. This inspired him to make an AnimatedAdaptation of the play that [[ExtremelyLengthyCreation took near thirty-years to make]]. For that, see ''Animation/TheTragedyOfMan''.

''The Annunciation'' (or ''Angyali udvozlet'') is a 1984 Hungarian film by Andras Jeles. It is essentially an adaptation of the classic Hungarian play ''Theatre/TheTragedyOfMan''... performed entirely by a cast of prepubescent children.
In the Garden of Eden, Adam and Eve (Peter Bocsor and Julia Mero) live peacefully until their new neighbor Lucifer (Eszter Gyalog) shows up and convinces Eve to eat an apple from the Tree of Knowledge, breaking one of the few rules imposed by God. Afraid that she will be banished and that God will give Adam a new wife, Eve convinces Adam to eat from the tree as well, and thus they are both banished from Eden. Bitter at the hardships they face in the world beyond and plagued by visions of the future (a consequence of eating the apple), Adam demands that Lucifer help him make sense of his visions, and thus begins a journey through time and space as Lucifer shows Adam visions of Ancient Egypt, Athens, Rome, Byzantium, Prague, post-revolutionary Paris, and Victorian London, and Adam witnesses the brutality that underlines human history.
!!This film contains examples of:
* CrapsaccharineWorld: A major theme of the film (and the play upon which it is based) is that human progress consistently outpaces humans themselves, leading to brutality.
-->'''Lucifer:''' You know nothing of the enormous latrine over which God has built His mansion.
* CreepyChild: Lucifer is played by a 12-year-old girl, and alternates between being adorably precocious and goddamned disturbing.
* HeroicBSOD: Towards the end of the film, Adam, overcome with despair after seeing how humanity is incapable of doing away with brutality, falls into a deep depression.
* TroublingUnchildlikeBehavior: The entire film basically runs on this trope, as the viewer watches young children acting out scenes of violence and sensuality, albeit in more age-appropriate ways (Lucifer's seduction of Eve, for example, is depicted as an impish kiss on the cheek.)
