SELECTION documents a KISZ Hungarian Young Communist League chapter at an oil refinery that is interested in hiring a musical act as entertainment for young workers The documentary shows the group discussing their criteria for the band as well as their interviews with the individual bands It is quickly apparent that the group isnt interested in any sort of musical talent or the potential audiences interest Rather they are focused on ideological or moral issues that may be perceived as negative such as groupies or outfits that are seen as too trendy They settle on the musical group that is potentially the easiest to control the youngest band SELECTION works as a larger metaphor for what censorship was like in Socialist Hungary and was banned from being publicly screened until 1982
